I hate the way they move, the way they look, the way they leave a "snail trail" behind when they slime their way across my path, I hate the way they eat my plants. They are gross. Capital G. GROSS. They make me shiver, they make me nauseous. I wish they did not exist, what is their purpose?
It turns out, through reading and research that they form part of the food chain, they eat poop and are then eaten by other animals. They are essentially food. I am sure the world can do without these creatures. Frick! I dislike them. However I understand the delicate ecological balance and that by removing said slug it would cause a devastating ripple effect in the food chain. Grin and bear it they say.
Paul suggested I leave a bottle of beer in my garden. Drunken snails. Now there's an idea. But what good would it do to kill them. At what rate do these things multiply and why are they in my bedroom? I have come to an understanding that the world needs them, I dislike them, but I have to tolerate them. I have had a few instances where they have been on me, turning me into the screeching, screaming, leaping 25 year old girl that I am. Drama.
Below is the perfect example of why slugs are evil.
