“eating things that most people [what 'MOST people', pray?] consider pets…” “…just how inhumane Chinese people are”. Better if I don’t even begin to deconstruct your phrasing. Animal rights, legislation and attitudes towards animals are not the same everywhere in the world, but there are more than a handful of countries (in Europe as well) where cruelty towards animals DOES happen in one form or another. Hopefully legislation and attitudes change, but there is much to be hoped for in most countries. It is simply easier to think of “the others” as cruel and “inhumane” (a culturally defined word).

By the way, I, personally, love little piglets – or even grown pigs, actually – and if I saw them sold alive at the market I would certainly feel an urge to buy one to be a pet, although I know perfectly well that I cannot.

However, a cute story of an unusual friendship. If you buy a pet in similar conditions, two things to remember are not to let in loose in the wild in your country (but why would you do this to any pet) and that it MIGHT potentially carry diseases that don’t exist in your country. So be careful.

A gentle pat to Mr Froggie from me.

Yes, it may be Eurocentric, but, when I buy meat it is not moving.
Chinese have no problem eating things that most people consider pets. I have seen an HBO special that shows just how inhumane Chinese people are. Clubbing a cat into unconsciousness and then skinning it alive. Yeah, nice people you are, NOT.

“Since we are talking about cultural norms the correct term is eurocentric. From the dictionary: Centered or focused on Europe or European peoples, especially in relation to historical or cultural influence.”

So France, Belgium and Italy (PLACES WHERE FROGS ARE ALSO CONSUMED) aren’t located in Europe in your world?

The correct term is ethnocentric.

Whatta-wha? I’m Chinese and I’ve never even heard of frogs sold for the new year.

Frogs make OK pets – I raised a tadpole right up to a froglet (it still had the tadpole tail). So cute.

MAJOR KUDOS to Mr.-Stellar-Mortgage-Broker-Barry. I’ve been a fan of CO for a while and this is the first story I felt compelled to post a comment on. I commend your saving of the amphib!! Your story should be made into a vegetarian children’s storybook! hahahaha…that’s an AWESOME idea. i insist you market this.
