The poor snails! I understand the feeling. My husband is terrified of spiders and would like me to slaughter them when they're found inside our home. I send him off in another room, tell him I'm going to launch a full assault on the poor defenceless creature, make horrible warrior cry sounds... and gently scoop up the spider and drop it outside in the garden. I have a soft spot for wee snails - but do agree with the rest of your readers. Slugs. Must. Go. Earwigs, too. *shudder*
