People really can be cruel and weird at times and I think it's connected with having too much money and / or time on one's hands.
"THE FIGHTING FROG
One of the many oddities found inside a house in central France which once belonged to a wealthy, philanthropic, and "egocentric" civil servant called Louis Mantin, who left it to the town of Moulins as long as it was opened 100 years after his death, in 2005. It became a museum in 2011, perfectly renovated as if he was still living there. Among other period paraphernalia is his strange collection of stuffed animals, including a blowfish, a rat playing the violin, and this curious object, two stuffed frogs with human attitudes playing out a miniature battle.
