Frog farming is like chicken farming.

It can be small scale, in urban environments and cheap to setup and run.

If you believe the hype around chickens (it's complicated) frog farming is good for the poor and good to help people like women set up small business ventures.

If frog ethics are important to you then you can apply the same ideas they do chickens.

After watching the video I was left a bit upset. But I have to admit, I started by wondering, "do I care? Which side of the empathy line do frogs land on?"
Personally I care despite being a huge meat eater. There's no reason for cruelty other than laziness and indifference.

Id generally draw the line at insects. And yet most insects for consumption are treated quite well.

Again personal opinion but creatures like cephalopods, primates, dolphins and whales just shouldn't be touched in general, we should let the other smart animals be, they are the backup plan for the only known life in the universe.
