Anybody, pizza with frog leg?

ECO Offer Frog Leg Pizza Animal rights campaigners are furious with a London pizza restaurant that has launched the UK s first frogs legs pizza . Called The Hopper it costs £17.95 and comes with a traditional tomato and mozzarella base capers fresh dill and thyme with a scoop of anchovy sorbet which melts into the pizza as the diner nibbles around each leg. The pizzas creator described it as refined but critics have called barbaric and is the brainchild of Sami Wasif owner of the ECO firm of pizza restaurants which has branches in Chiswick and Clapham in London.

 Why are animal rights campaigners furious about it? Do frogs have more rights than some other animals that are eaten in pizza?

 Yes I wondered the same. I wondered if the way the frogs legs are acquired maybe has something to do with it.. since frogs (or snails for that matter) are a regular eaten thing in many restaurants all over the world. I´ve never heard of it on pizza though.

 It has not been explained in the article, but it might be. I have seen that they usually break the legs with one hand movement while the frog is still alive, however in the article it sounds as if they are furious just because of the fact that they are used on pizza.

Detaching a frog from it´s legs is not a pretty sight.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/677593.stm  (nothing too nasty looking in the pic on this link). 

I once saw a documentary which showed a production line of leg removal from live frogs.  Workers sat on a chair with a vertical blade fixed in front of them.  They took each live frog and dragged it down the blade, thus relieving it of its legs .  The top half of the frogs were simply tossed away without a second thought.  The frogs were still alive, poor things.

 In that case I understand. Why don´t they do it after they are dead? Or is it like the ýstakoz who are cooked alive just because then they have a brighter (not greyish) color  

You might be right but how long do they need to wait until they are dead? how do you kill them anyway? by not feeding them?

It reminded me my mother..She could dont clean the fish for cooking..She would wait for 5 or 6 hours..

On the other hand..me...

I´ve got a long list of real good reasons
For all the things I´ve done
I´ve got a picture in the back of my mind
Of what I´ve lost and what I´ve won
I´ve survived every situation
Knowing when to freeze and when to run
And regret is just a memory written on my brow
And there´s nothing I can do about it now.

Pigs worship God of Materialism

If ever there was a god to prevent you from worshiping material things, it would be this one.

The hideous pig-like thing is the masterpiece by Chinese artist Chen Wenling called God Of Materialism.

Looking chuffed, the huge greedy pig has minions of other tiny, and just as unattractive and scary, pigs worshiping in awe at its heels.

The group stare up at their master, adorned with a plethora of jewels and necklaces representing the grotesque love of material things.

The sculpture, which looks like a bad dream, can be found at the Asia Art Centre in Beijing.
