Hi all
I just thought i would post this here as it might be seen by more snail lovers?
I brought some snails from brixtoon and was so gutted at the conditions they are kept in that i had to do something!
I know not everyone agrees but i want to see this stopped if it cannot be stopped at very least conditions improved!
Ok so people are not sure is snails and other bugs feel pain!
But the other day a grasshopper landed on the car windscreen i was watching it walking back and forth until my stupid husband thought he would put the windscreen wipers on!
I was not happy and i made him stop the car!
I found the hopper with back legs stuck under the wiper i remover it and as soon as it was free it sat cleaning and flexing his legs!
Ok wheres this going i suppose you ask?
Well that was proof enough to me seeing that it reacted to what had happened?
Was it pain?
I dont know but im pretty sure it felt it why shouldnt bugs feel pain?
You kick a dog it crys you grab a bird it panics!
Just because we dont know doesnt mean they dont feel it?
So i wish to carry on with my plight to stop this i wont sit back and the more support the better!
I have had 1 newspaper take up the story a few others are thinking about it or have stuff in the pipelines!
And 2moro morning im on the radio this has to be a step in the right direction right?
Anyone wanting to see what i have been up to and whats been done take a look at
bugnation.myfreeforum.org/ftopic3431.php
And would be great for you all that agree something needs to be done to take a look and show your report
Thanks for reading
