Both are making great points.
It is a great experience to raise a frog and to teach the changes in their lifecycle and how to properly care for a frog and it's environment.
Doing so in the proper way is very rewarding, and especially if your frog(s) learn to respond to us in a positive way.
If you really enjoy frogs, it is a wonderful thing to also respect and encourage their continual existence. You can do so by caring for captive bred frogs.
Saving their natural species from becoming endangered is very important, especially since humans and habitat destruction (also caused by humans) are the number one cause for their declining numbers.
Maybe consider choosing a frog through after reading the thread here about choosing a frog. Study their average species behaviors and housing needs and see which would most make you both happy. Then choose your frog(s), perhaps captive-bred?
