Letter to Dr. Kerry Kriger, founder of Save the Frogs

Hi Kerry,

A small victory: No frogs were sold this year at the Issaquah Salmon Days Festival. The festival is a very large local event.

For the past few years a vendor has been selling small African frogs in tiny plastic containers. My friends and I had complained to the festival organizers, the mayor, and anyone else who would listen citing CDC warnings, disease threats to local frogs and amphibians, and cruelty to animals.

The festival was this past weekend. They finally listened and there were no frogs for sale!
