Cocqi Exterminations

froggiefantasy4 Feb 12, 2005 02:50 PM

i just saw this news story about how Hawaii plans to kill off the little Cocqi frogs that have accidentally gotten there since 1990. i am so outraged about this! even the governor of Hawaii is beginning to make a plan of how to wipe out the frogs b/c it will "hurt tourism"! i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how we, frog lovers, could stop this type of animal cruelty! i am so upset that this is happening. the frogs are going to be killed b/c of their croaks! i wish there was something that could be done to save them...

They should make a program to try to sell these frogs to the ones who love herps. Us. Just do it for a year or two and if it works just keep doing that till the population gets smaller.

i DEF agree and i seriously wish there was a way to work that out! i did find this website http://www.hawaiiancoqui.org/whatyoucando.htm
for anyone who is interested in voicing their opinions to try to save these frogs. it seems most effective if you live in Hawaii, but im sure all opinions help! SAVE THE FROGS!
