What is the scientific basis you are making your claims that frog population is in danger? Have you taken your "torch" at night and counted them all over Goa?
Now please don't come to me with some vague "bio indicators". This is all crap and have no scientific basis. When I say millions are born ... millions are also eaten by natural predators. That includes man. So there is a natural balance. Laws to protect frogs are just for the show - it cannot stop Goans from consuming frogs. Its a Goan tradition. Some day soon (just like the bullfight law), the frog protection law will undergo a change. India is a country where humans have absolutely "NO" value. Do you think they care about frogs? Hello ????
