Does no-one care about the frogs?

Never trust a vegetarian. At the drop of a hat, they will be sneaking off to devour a bacon sandwich. Look at this lot, as reported in The Independent:
Water voles have developed a penchant for one of the most rarefied delicacies of French cuisine – frogs' legs – conservationists have discovered. The shy and furry rodents, immortalised by the character of Ratty in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, had previously been considered entirely herbivorous, subsisting on a diet of aquatic plants.
But ecologists from British Waterways found evidence of unusual eating preferences among water voles during a recent survey of the Kennet & Avon Canal in Berkshire. At several of the animals' "feeding stations" in the canalside vegetation were numerous dead frogs – with their legs removed.

Disgraceful behaviour. I bet that they are LibDem voters.
