After 18 months of protests, thousands of calls and e-mails, and appearances outside Brookstone stores by our giant "frog," Brookstone has finally decided to pull a cruel product called the "Frog-O-Sphere" from its shelves!
PETA started campaigning against the tiny plastic frog prisons after receiving complaints from Brookstone customers and after a whistleblower reported that frogs and snails housed in the tiny 4-inch-by-4-inch plastic boxes were neglected, deprived of veterinary care and adequate food, and kept in filthy water. The whistleblower told PETA that when frogs became obviously ill and "unsaleable," they were moved to the stores' storage rooms, where they often wasted away and died.
PETA's undercover investigation of Wild Creations—the company that came up with the idiotic idea of throwing two frogs and some gravel into a container smaller than a shoebox and leaving them there for their entire lives—revealed filthy conditions and deadly neglect. In some cases, frogs were so hungry that that they chewed each other's legs off.
Brookstone joins Magic Beans, Target, and other retailers that have stopped selling these cruel products, but Coach House Gifts is still selling frogs in "EcoAquariums" to make an easy buck. In one shipment to Coach House Gifts, 37 out of 40 frogs died after they were left in a container so long that they suffered from heat prostration. Please take a moment to urge the company to stop selling its deadly EcoAquariums.

I cant beleive people still argue why lions tigers and other carnivores dont think of other innocent animals or their pain yet we as humans have to...dont you get it those animals in the wild kill its prey just to survive..they kill one out of thousands and thats it ...they dont hurt each other for entertainment or fun.
But look at us HUMANS... we kill animals in slaughterhouses in large numbers more than needed and throw away meat,we kill them with extreme pain,And it doesnt Stop there we skin them alive for their fur..we abuse them for fun,we cage them for our joy,we even use them for unimaginable purposes :(..whats wrong with us humans... Let animals live freely.
Yes in the past people did wear fur clothing but now we are more developed..have brains we know they feel pain yet we dont want to beleive it...we have alternatives...we can live a vegan lifestyle, we can substitute fur, stop bloodsports...we have more options to substitute animals unlike the past...
So its time to change
