A dozen bullfrogs slump together in a dark green mass at the bottom of a plastic bucket, looking more dead than alive. Some have blotchy skin and none has strength left to move. They have traveled thousands of miles to await their fate in back of a New York China-town market. A species native to North America, these frogs are raised by the tens of thousands on South American farms. Bullfrogs, more specifically, their legs, are big business.
