BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Crime Killing Tree Frogs...

Those tree frogs are so tiny and cute! I was really saddened when I heard the boys pounding them with rocks with such glee! When I had my own house and yard, I had statues and flower pots of frogs all over, hiding under bushes and in out of the way places. I love frogs and lizards!

On behalf of all fellow tree-frogs, thank you phyllis Those little guys have brought many of slumbers and relaxing dusks on the porch contemplating simplicity.

I'll say that the association with killing living things and the enjoyment of, is pretty much like everything else. Especially with kids, when they get a taste of something, they begin thinking, "hmmmmmmmmmm" after awhile. "This is kinda boring. What would happen w/my sisters hamster??" etc.

The kids that liked killing things, that I grew up w/, (and you knew them too, it was ritualistic and they created other typed of trouble) ended up really odd growing up. There seems to be a coalition with respect somewhere in there that carries over into adulthood, especially in taking life. It's a rush of some kind whether parents want to deal w/that or not. Kids don't just do something exciting and go o.k. I'm done. They look for something to top it. Even adults for that matter, really.

Thanks for speaking for the non-verbal.

Thanks, Elleise. And thank you all for your thoughts about this thing that really upset me, not just for the darling frogs, but the children as well. I was upset for their mindset and pray that they will forget about doing things like this again.
