Hi Freddy, Jim,
You both seem to be missing the real point for banning the killing of Frogs.
People now are educated they understand lot many things, natural and scientific
reasons for the disaster in our present lives where in lot of sickness and
diseases are reigning. Malaria takes millions and millions of people too.
With education and researches they found out an easy way to save life at least
of few millions if not in its entirety if they save the Frog that voraciously
consumes larva of Mosquitoes, the very same mosquito that is responsible for
millions of deaths through Malaria. And in Goa, this is necessary too for the
same reasons. Why not go easy way to save the life. One loose nothing if one
just ignore killing the Frog and let it live, because if it does live it can
really save many many lives from the killer disease like Malaria. Any other
reason for saving the Frog is a different issue.
God bless you.
Elvino

Jim you are very much right, who really gives a rat's ass about humans, wild
life is more important than humans
The Bollywood actor Salman Khan was put behind bars for killing a black buck
but does any know what happened to the people he ran over in his Land Cruiser ?
What does our police and the Authorities do when the rich are involved in
accidents and the poor are the victims ? Is any action taken against them ?
Icons like Pataudi are pulled to court for killing an animal, what does our
government do to protect the people who die of cold and hunger in Delhi and up
north during
winter?
Killing tigers and other endangered species are dealt with severely but mass
murderers Narender Modi are left free to prey on minorities, the saffron
brigade can kill Christians at will in the name of conversion and get away with
it too but thou shall not kill an animal or even a frog, are we what we claim
to be ?
I am basically not fussy about food, I just eat anything that is laid on my
table, doesn't matter whether it's spicy, bitter, sour or sweet as long as I
can digest it, no problems but given the choice, fish curry any time any where.
With tourism flourishing in Goa and the number of hotels ever increasing food
items are become very expensive and unaffordable for the common man. Fish
cannot be regular item on our menu, red meat (beef, mutton & pork) are
expensive as well and bad for people with cholesterol and uric acid, chicken
too is mostly for occasions and eggs are bad for cholesterol , which do tend to
disappear from counters when ever, bird flu makes it's round, that leaves us
with vegetables which too are become expensive so what do we eat ? Has anyone
noticed the steep rise in prices of fruits in Goa ? With the advent of rainy
season nature had provided us with a cheaper substitute in frog and that too is
banned, and with the ban enforced the prices of frogs too have skyrocketed so
what does the common man eat ? Don't tell we'll have to go the Oriental way of
eating worms and reptiles (who knows that too could be banned) .
I appreciate what Clinton Vaz is doing to save wild life but we should all do a
lot more for humans first because that God's and natures prized creation It
should always be Man before Animal
