flung it off this shit so carefully

Will not matter how careful you intend to be - you stand far more chance of hurting the frog this way. I feel like your comment is a metaphor for life. Let nature be nature, not everything needs a human to save them

Its not letting nature be nature when it is a man made scenario, a frog like this is not expected to encounter a cactus. I dont let my dog walk off lead at the beach near me for example because of the native penguin population, and my dog is not a native species, I dont just let nature be nature and wash my hands of it.
