The Noahide Commandment which forbids eating flesh that was removed from an "animal" that is still alive (or still convulsing) only applies to birds and land mammals.
But gentiles are allowed to eat all kinds of animals. If an animal is being killed for food, it should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering in the process. Cutting off the legs of a frog while it is still sensitive to pain would be unnecessarily cruel, and thus not allowed. But the meat itself would be allowed to be eaten.
