Push for regulations within the pet and food trade that will increase awareness of the Chytrid fungus is killing frogs

Created by K.M. on April 15, 2014

The Chytrid Fungus is killing frogs all over the globe at a break neck pace. This fungus microscopically changes the cells in the outer layer of skin on a frog by making it thicker to the point that the frogs can no longer absorb water and electrolytes through their skin. And they will die after 21 days of being infected. The biggest method of the spread is the pet and food trade.
I am creating this petition because there is something else we can do, push to have regulations on the pet and food trade so that those within this trade become aware of the Chytrid fungus and understand how to look for frogs infected and hopefully get them somewhere they can be treated. You can help this become a reality by signing this petition. Help save the frogs!!!
