Kermit the Frog, pal stoned to death




The ricefields looked peaceful. But that afternoon saw blood as a group of kids in this quiet farming barangay in San Carlos City, Pangasinan stoned to death unsuspecting noisy mating frogs in the area for dinner.

Assailants pounded from a bridge several stones and rocks twice as big as a quezo de bola to kill their targets. Two frogs were killed and were picked floating from a puddle.

The kids claim those kind of frog has been a regular dinner fare whenever the rainy season begins.

Hey thanks for the comment :-)

But during my three-day stay there, I saw several other pals of Kermit the Frog on the pavement lie flat and decomposing because they were run over by vehicles.

Rough translation is victims of hit-and-run. But is there such thing for frogs?

That makes me think it could also the same thing you'd see on other rural areas where little wild things roam free. Can we say it's cruelty?

Hmmm... Havent heard of that... x_x

Sa kaso ng mga palaka, wala akong magagawa kasi hindi ko sila kilala, dayo lang ako sa lugar atsaka nakalaan yun para yun sa hapunan nila...

Nuong nanduon pa ako, hinainan din ako ng adobong palaka bilang pananghalian kapares ng pinakbet. So hindi ko sila mapigilan kung ulam ang tingin nila kina Kermit the Frog. x_x
