Monsoon Season, Poaching Frogs Destined For The Table – India

Bull Frog 3Frog Poaching Goa
People living in the area of Goa in India are known for their love of meat, and now that it is the annual monsoon rainy season with frogs awakening from their long hibernation, poaching is in full swing, because catching them legally was banned in the eighties. As in France, they are highly prized for the table; in Goa they are eaten sauteed, or as minced escalopes, and in curries.
In spite of increased poaching their numbers have remained stable with the main threat to the amphibians being the destruction of their natural habitat.
