Frog-eater may not be the politest way to address a French person, but it's true: many French people love frogs' legs - they eat around 4,000 tons of them every year. Where do these frogs come from? In France and the EU, unlike in Asia, native frogs are protected from exploitation. This is why most frogs' legs come from there. As delicious as frogs' legs may be, the unregulated trade in them is problematic in several respects. In this video, we explain why this is the case and what a possible solution could be.
