As my snails mysteriously launch themselves out of my garden and crash into the church wall next door with a satisfying, to me, crunch, I do tend to fleetingly have a 'poor snail' thought, but only fleetingly.as I think if they had got their trajectory a but lower they might have landed on the grass verge instead. Conversely, I have no compunction about consigning hundreds of bluebell bulbs into my brown bin. Nor any errant dandelions. Never do I think 'poor misguided plant - you thought you were a fine example of your species but I just think you are a weed'! Bad person gardener.

I can't tell you how many slugs I chucked into the road to be splatted RG. In this garden it's snails. Much easier to lob.

Slugs are animals.
Lobbing and splatting beats salting or snipping RG.
So are vine weevils, aphids, lily beetles and their like, Papi Jo.

Pj, slugs in my garden are 90% plant.
A weed is a plant where it shouldn't be.
