: Daniel Berry walked over to see if he could help," Patton said. "Curiosity got to him, I guess. The frog hit him square in the face. He suffered several facial fractures."
Uh, what? How can a frog's body inflict "facial fractures" on a human's face? A frog?
That absolutely sickens me. I don't like frogs much, but I wouldn't ever considering harming them like that. Ugh.
Billygoat might not like frogs but she hugs (((((rocks))))

We had a spud gun as kids but mainly shot lumps of dirt with it. (hey potatoes were scarce - it's not like we lived in Ireland) Even loaded with a piece of potato you'd be lucky to inflict more than a small bruise .. or do American spud guns shoot whole potatoes?
.. like farkle .. i smell a rat
unc who'd like a carrot gun
edit: we also had a blunderbuss kinda air gun with a one inch barrel - a bloke could shoot small amphibians with that but even at very close range i don't think it had enough power to either injure the frog or the human. (it was a scarey looking toy though lol
I think you will find that the kid was a glory hunter attempting and failing pitifully to win a Darwin Award. In case you do not know what a Darwin Award is, to quote its charter -
"The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it."
Most likely his attempt would achieve an honorable mention, but he would have to improve with any further efforts.

Humans are NOT superior to any other living creature. A frog's life is just as important as your own.
I happen to disagree. I find my life extremely more important than any frog's life. And if I'd had to choose between the life of a frog and the life of a human being, the frog is toast.
