Hi All,
Please check out: Dyed Frogs Wildly Popular as “Living Novelties” in China
“In addition to the outright killing of frogs, the practice of dyeing them raises the larger issue of how they are perceived. In one review (see link) for example, the author has not even bothered to identify the type of frogs that are being sold, and even makes light of the situation – suggesting that the frogs sell-out so fast that prospective owners may need to dye their own! The author callously goes on to note that the dyes should last 3-4 years “…by which time the frogs will probably be long dead anyway”. Read article here:
