| Killer Frogs Threatening Pond at San Francisco park; 'They're Eating Each Other' |
| 2007-03-30 |
| Killer frogs have taken over Golden Gate Park's otherwise peaceful Lily Pond in San Francisco, causing a big problem. According to KPIX-TV contributor and San Francisco Chronicle columnist Phil Mattier, the city is preparing to do something to stop the African clawed frogs. While they are just 5 inches in length, the frogs are eating everything in sight -- including turtles, fish and other frogs. "They've eaten everything they can get their mouths around, and now they're eating each other," Eric Mills of the animal rights group Action for Animals, told Matier for his column. Fighting back the obvious San Fran jokes No one knows for sure when this frog species got into the pond or who put them there, but now city officials fear the killer frogs will spread throughout the Bay Area. "The fear is they will get out," Richard Schulke, president of the city's Animal Control and Welfare Commission, told Matier. Park workers have used nets and traps baited with chicken to yank about 2,500 adult frogs out of the pond. The frogs are then sent up to Fish and Game in Yountville, where they are euthanized by a special nerve poison. But the Terminator toads just keep coming back. "They are cute, but tough," Mills said. "I saw a heron swoop down and grab one. He had it in his bill for a while, tried to eat it, then just gave up and spit it out." In fact, about the only thing known to eat the frogs are crocodiles -- but that solution is probably out. So what do you do when a whole pond is infested with killer frogs? Animal Control has asked the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for the money to drain the pond and eliminate these frogs. Don't pass up the video. The news staff gets a good laugh out of some of the moonbat ideas on handling the situation. One of which is having the locals adopt the frogs and take them into their homes. Heh, it is San Francisco. |

| #14 Killer Frogs Threatening Pond at San Francisco park; 'They're Eating Each Other' true story, that pond in the vid is in back of the par 3 golf course in Golden Gate Park. Ironically there are dozens of homeless always 'camping out' within a concentric circle of about 2 or 3 hundred yards surrounding the Golf Course. More Irony, Just to the West of that pond area there is a notorious homo-hang out section of the Park where the George Michael types "do homo" to each other in the bushes. They are a dangerous group of fags btw, and even in San Francisco [SF gubmint is Homo Happy] the cops bust them in big round ups for accosting straights in bathrooms and the kids soccer field etc. Ok now see the Irony, SF is so fu*ked up it can't even get rid of the Homeless or the Homos so we can all predict with some certainty that the killer frogs will be living happily ever after in that pond in GG Park. If we could only get the killer frogs to attack the other problems! LOL! |

| #6 to stop the African clawed frogs. This is racist profiling against homosexual frogs! Clearly the non-violent frogs were acting out against the oppressive and homophobic tendencies of the non-violent frogs. We must understand. All non-violent frogs must be exterminated so that the violent frogs can live in peace and harmony. |

| #2 "They've eaten everything they can get their mouths around, and now they're eating each other," I thought this was San Francisco's motto? |

| #1 Solution: Send a large enough number of their natural predators to San Francisco. I am not speaking of crocodiles but of French. |
