We have lots of them here but for some reason, I feel it necessary to leave them be. Everything that stays outdoors where it belongs is safe from me.

Yeah, that's always been my policy, too. But something snapped yesterday when I found yet ANOTHER batch of new plants had been ruthlessly mown down - I can't keep ALL the plants in the house to keep 'em safe and I get tired of the endless weeds the darn things NEVER eat!
You should see the SIZE of these beasts! They are so well-fed on all the replacement plants I keep buying that some of the snails have shells the circumferance of the lenses in my spectacles (which ain't small!), and some of the slugs are easily 6inches long and thicker round than my thumb. They can graze away the contents of a newly planted tub in one night!
It's unfair to plants!
