    Do frogs feel pain?

    I just cut one in half with some garden shears, I feel bloody awful.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    Don't sweat it ginge. Frogs don't feel anything below the neck. In France, when they have their legs removed, most of them scarcely notice. They can continue having an active, though hop-free life, for many years thereafter.

      YOU feel bloody awful!!! I think you'll find he feels a lot worse............

      But I expect it's OK - as long as you didn't see the poor bastard dragging himself across the lawn leaving a trail of his guts behind!

        It would have been a quick end for the little chap. Don't beat yourself up.

                    Not dissimilar to the kebab that Suity used as an avatar for a while.
