Last time I checked, a game of foosball doesn’t actually involve the likes of frogs.

And yet, that appears to have been the case this time around – when a group of teens purportedly used frogs in foosball during a supposed Christmas party.

S’pore Teens Denied Abusing Frogs While IG Stories of Them Putting Them on Foosball Table Shared Online

Several individuals were documented playing foosball while a frog was on the table – during what seems to be a Christmas party.

The footage was shared on Instagram Stories, and names have since been censored.

In the first Instagram Story, a box was unveiled to show numerous tiny frogs, with a caption reading: “Merry Christmas”.

In another video, one of them could be seen doing a flicking motion with his fingers, as another edged a foosball figure towards it.

However, nothing ‘incriminating’ was captured…

Until we learnt of the presence of the following Instagram Story.

In this footage, a teen “lined up” a frog on the table, as another used a figurine to shoot a ball at it.

Thankfully, the frog managed to escape.

It should be noted, however, that the caption of the Story reads: “My last frog”.

Response

Apparently, there were 6 teenagers present at the party.

Two of them have since posted Instagram Stories in response to the incident.

One of them claimed that they were not playing foosball with the frogs, and that he did not intend to commit animal cruelty.

He also states that there are “many sides to the story”, and that there weren’t actually “100 frogs”.

“The word ‘allegedly’ is used because the people who wrote the article don’t actually know what happened,” he wrote after the incident was reported in local media. “So don’t bash people you know nothing about and for something you know nothing about.”

Meanwhile, the other teen expressed that he was not involved in any animal abuse, despite the notion that he could be seen in the footage.

He also asked others not to believe what they “see on social media”.

“And for the person giving out silly addresses,” he wrote, “put urself in my shoes and think about how u wld feel when ur getting blamed for something u never did.”

Authorities

According to the OP of the thread, they have yet to make a police report, but stated that they would update if they do so.

However, it appears that reports have been made. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has also confirmed that investigations are currently ongoing.

Rhino Enclosure

Though unconfirmed, one of the teens is alleged to be the same person in the recent backflipping incident, since he mentioned “my recent rhino incident”.

The accusation was made on a Reddit post, and has earned 623 upvotes to date.

No confirmation has been made.

Lest you’re unaware, a video of a youth doing a backflip inside a white rhinoceros enclosure at the Singapore Zoo had been circulating on social media.

It was first shared on TikTok by the youth, who had around 33,000 followers at the time.

The video seems to have been removed, but has since been reposted on several other platforms.

In the beginning of the video, which was filmed by the youth himself, he rhetorically asks his followers: “What’s Ralph thinking about?”.

The video then cuts to him trespassing into the rhino exhibit, where he does a backflip before darting out of the enclosure.

In the five seconds that he was inside the enclosure, two huge White rhinos could be seen in the background, not too far from the youth.
