Another sad one.
As a child- maybe 8 or 9 I was at a friends holiday house in Sorrento.
They had a beautiful garden down there but they had a snail problem. The only way they thought they could get rid of the snails was through snail bait/poison. I remember coming outside to see a beautiful whopping bluey just chilling in the grass, my family thought it was fine so we took a few pictures and thought it would move away on its own.
Wrong.
we had come back from watching a movie to notice he was still slow but defiantly still alive. We decided to take him inside and feed him some strawberries. He refused them but we thought it was just because he was wild. We kept him inside the night but in the morning he was dead. We soon learned then it was from snail poison. I was very upset and had a funeral for him.
The funeral bit sounds kinda funny looking back on it:?.
