African Clawed Frogs Being Dyed?

[mpmistr]

Hi,

I am kind of relieved that there seem to be dying methods that aren´t that harmful. But I still don´t understand why people would like to buy dyed animals at all- in my opinion, keepers should be interested in watching the natural behaviour of their pets rather than collecting fancy-coloured, but highly unnatural specimen.

I would imagine these frogs become impulse buys by parents for small children who are not capable of caring for the animal thus left to an adult who has little interest in caring for the frog themselves. I would imagine most dyed frogs don't live long healthy lives.
