First attended the festival when I was not yet 17 in1981. Been going to the thing every few years except for when I worked in lived in NYC for a dozen years. And that should tell you how old I am.
I feel so bad for them. No animals should be trained with so much fear. Thank god no one trains rabbits like that in the competitions but they wouldn't even jump then. I hate it too when people pushes animals too far
You need the healthiest frog to win, so they are probably fed really well. The most important thing to a frog is food, so at least there's that. Plus it keeps these people busy, thats def a good thing
I'm from Calaveras County. I can assure you people take it very seriously, and they treat the frogs with respect. They don't "train," it's a frog, not a dog.
Cause how many frogs died during this. It is just jumping. These frogs are mostly pampered like how rodeo bulls are pampered which means that they are giving luxury when they only work for 8 seconds a weekend or 4 days every year. These frogs live better frogs then most humans.
@@ltakethefatlplease.3380 the frogs don’t actually die from this. They are put righ back where they came from or to a new pond, creek, whatever. My grandparents found there’s in a swamp, relocated it basically in their pond. And now there are TONS. And they’re all doin’ just fine!

It is an absolutely disgusting tradition, which is based on animal exploitation. 2. Frogs are considered mere disposable objects, since they give them a monetary value, without considering their intrinsic right to live free of exploitation, to be respected 3. This practice is carried out by bored people, who consider that animals are objects of entertainment, and also ratify this belief to future generations. 4. Competitors and spectators do not care about frogs at all, since they only want to win the prize and having fun, without considering that they are dealing with a being that feels; which is not a thing. 5. The frog performs the jumps, subjected to the external pressure of the people, pressure that is based on fear and screams, promoting the jumps and the use of them.
1. It's not disgusting at all, in fact people love it (obviously!). 2. The frogs are treated with respect and are taken care of. No self respecting frog jumper is going to bring an unhealthy frog. Winning requires taking ACTUAL care of them. 3. If being bored is a problem, than ANY sportsball is also a problem because it deals with "beings that feel." 4. They DO care about the frogs. Why else would they be there? Are you trying to suggest the frogs are mistreated? Got any proof of that? People keep them as literal pets (several in the video had pet frogs). 5. Frogs will jump away from anything that scares them, be it a bird, fox, whatever. That's literally what they do. They are "scared" for approx 1 minute, then get to chill in a cool, moist box with their frog friends until the day is over.
What an egoistic “sport”. Those frogs are taken out of their natural habitat and are under stress. The ground on which they are jumping is not grass but conctrete. Very bad for their feet. Sad to see!
The contracts in this are really getting out of hand. The frogs have too much power.
“Lone frog decides to kneel during national anthem”
We need to make some changes at the next CBA meeting

Well these frogs are being scared into jumping and is easy for the human to say it's all fun and games but they are scaring the frog and that's wrong
i hate how they shake them around and treat them like dolls. they're real animals, this is just sad to watch
