[Numerous examples of animal brutality and torture have been given in HOODOO. Here are several more examples.] I've seen a woman - she did dis when I wuz quite a kid. I seen 'er when she did dis - I wuz runnin' roun' 'er house - I guess she wuz payin' no 'tention tuh me amongst de othahs. She'd taken a frog. Dis frog - she taken dis frog an' SHE'D TAKE AN' STARVE DIS FROG, a li'le bit'a frog- a li'le, li'le frog. Yo' know de li'le bit'a frog dat jumps in de garden sometime or in de grass. She take dis frog an' she take an' starved 'im. An' she - I don' know whut she used tuh keep de frog in. She nevah would give him nuthin tuh eat, an' wouldn't allow us tuh give 'im nuthin tuh eat, yo' know. Well, she dried dis frog out when he died, dried 'im out an' powdahed 'im up. Aftah she dried 'im out good, she take an' powdah 'im up. Aftah she take de powdah - she took dis powdah an' she put it in some food [and put live frogs in the person].
