@ Henry. I have no desire to cause unnecessary cruelty to any animal - normally I dont have a major problem. How ever this year I lost so many things to snails and they had got to plague proportions something had to be done. The odd few snails in the garden dont do any harm and I would let them be normally. When I am collecting them by the bucket load, they are not welcome and need to be dispatched.
@ James, - having eaten snails in France they are vile, so will not be contemplating serving them up
i set slug and snail traps full of beer and once a week empty them in the drain and hose them down granted its a bit messy otherwise i cut slugs in half and stamp on snails then leave them for birds and others to eat
depending on your view with a bucket full of snails and slugs,kill them with boiling water then feed to the birds.Parcel them off to the rubbish tip,throw them over the fence ,set them free to live their lives munching on your plants there is never one answer to slugs and snails.

Hairey biker showed you how to cook the snails so you you could eat them instead of taken them for a walk
