Ancient Hindus used to sacrifice frogs to the deities, similar to sacrificing the goats and cocks, by considering it as a good activity. Demons like Ravana and Kumbakarna used to eat the meat of the frogs after applying various masala species on their body. It is also believed that the meat of the frog heals various types of diseases like Asthma, lung infections and Anaemia, though it is not proved scientifically.
Frogs also creates a certain sound of noise during their joyful mood, which gives more pleasure to the young children, and sometimes they also would raise noise like them. In general, frogs would not cause harm to others, since they are soft and gentle creatures. In ancient Puranas, frogs are mentioned as baby giants, and they are used as playful toys by the children of the Royal families. But most of us kill them, since we dislike their ugly appearance, but doing such an act is considered to be very bad, and we would get punishment from the god for that. During my childhood, I have also killed few tadpoles in my garden using a small stone with the help of my sister, by considering it as a playful activity, without knowing that it is a sinful activity. Anyhow, worrying now is of no use, since we have to surely suffer for the sins committed by us, whether we have done it knowingly or unknowingly.
