Save wild tadpoles from idiotic human actions

[KianMan]

Hey guys!
In a puddle in our school, a friend and I found tadpoles. Today when we were chilling with a group, an idiot thought it would be funny to " let the frogs get drunk kn coca cola" and poured Cole into the puddle
Do y'all have any tips on how we can save the tadpoles?
Luckily it's the rainy season rn so the water's getting diluted
We really wanna save these cute little tadpoles but we don't want to grow them in captivity. Should we relocate them?
PLEASE HELP GUYS

There is probably a pond river lake or stream nearby you may be able to catch em in a bucket and find a small waterway to release them. Or call DEM and see if they can IF them and relocate them for you.

Hi KianMan

As a recreational fishing person I see things like this often. It’s heartbreaking knowing that nature has allowed things to happen that are not going to end well.

I do hope you get enough rain for some of the frogs to make it to adulthood. Rest assured nature has given the adult frogs the ability to lay thousands of eggs in many locations and only a few need to survive to replace the two adults.

In my country it is 100% illegal to move frogs or eggs around . You may be able to move a few eggs / tadpoles if you countries law permits. Nature will use this abundance as a food source for many animals and birds.

An old saying that applies to this kind of thing.

Nature is red in tooth and claw.

I live in India (just fyi)

Honestly it's just my friend group that knows about these tadpoles, I don't think that we have an issue with relocation per se.
There's a field sort of thing on campus with plants and stuff and alot of water (rainwater again). Can we relocate them there?
I think the field area would be nice and give them a better chance of survival
And relocation will be done without human hand touching the tadpoles obviously so bacteria hopefully shouldn't be an issue

Also saving these tadpoles will aid on conservation beacuse alot of people hunt frogs where we live which isn't cool at all considering how vital they are for the environment
How can people be so cruel man???

Unfortunately, frog legs are delicious. However, if not people, then other animals will get most of them. Hunting is not cruel when you are hungry. It's nature, whether human or animal is eating them.

I truly appreciate your compassion and eagerness to save these tadpoles ! Have you checked local laws on if you can move them ? And if you’re good to do so I hope you do

Also karma has a special plan for people that purposely harm any living creature for no reason other than enjoyment.

If they were just hanging in the puddle I'd leave them
Since someone purposely contaminated the puddle I'd move them to the closest body of water.
Another puddle, maybe.

The frog who laid the eggs and the frog that fertilized them live somewhere nearby,

I wouldn't suggest moving them far from their current location.
