Am at the supermarket my Dad, Mom and relatives.. spotted the poor frogs all waiting to die at the fish tank.. some of them were stacking on top of each other, as if they were planning to escape from their otherwised ill-fated destiny.
I remembered treating Dad & Mom over dinner after getting my pay at a Chinese restaurant many yrs back.
I ordered 2 dishes of frog legs. Dad looked disturbed.. said it was cruel eating frog legs and shook his head. After which, i felt guilty for the longest time and swore off eating them ever again.
Imagine frogs being captured and killed just for their legs and their handicapped carcasses lying around in a heap.
Frogs are a delicacy particularly popular in Chinese and French cuisine. The most common way to capture bullfrogs is by gigging. But do you ever wander how they catch them frogs for years?
Giggers use flashlights to search for the frogs and blind them. Stunned by the light, the bullfrog sits still as the gigger carefully approaches, aims, and thrusts a spear through the frog. The spear is commonly referred to as a gig, and generally has three to five prongs arranged in a trident fashion, allowing for multiple prongs to pierce the frog and retrieve it.
Thou there are farms rearing frogs for food but still, it's not in our staple diet (e.g: monkey brain)so why eat them just for their legs? I may be no vegetarian but i just feel that we don't have to eat them..
Some pictures for you to digest..
