The idea of internal organs being compressed to the point of liqifaction
leaves me with a puny feeling inside.
At my house, where all my gardens are quite close to the house, if I
find a slug that goes beyond the Opps-I-Stepped-On-It-Two-Step, I wrap
it in a leaf and lob it up onto the shake roof. It would take one heck
of a climb, I figure, for a slug to get down from a split level house.
And hopefully, the sun will cook him.
