No

Yuk, I might if I was a song thrush. i would pick one up and smash it on a stone.

Side: Yes

Y'know what's actually really fun to play? Snail cricket.

You get a snail, and you bowl it to a batter, who smashes it as hard as he can. Snail tennis is also very amusing.

Side: Yes

Drop-kicking snails is great, too - don't forget that. Another great thing is launching snails from slingshots straight into brick walls.

Side: Yes

Heck yeah if it looked like a bear claw dipped in hair grease like in the picture!

If the Snail is harmful to me or the people around me, then yes I would kill it but if I saw a snail minding it's own business, I'd leave it alone. That's like me saying "If you saw a Dog, would you kill it?" I know so many people who hate dogs but would never kill it. Same goes with snails.

If it was scientifically normal and had no genetic abnormalities, I wouldn't kill it, no, However, if I ever encounter that snail in the picture that looks like a claw, then yes.

Side: No

Side: No

You should not kill anyone or anything. Even if it is a snail.

Every creature on earth should get a fair chance to live. If you where a snail would you like to be killed by a giant?

I mean all those poor little snails. They did not do anything wrong and yet they should be killed?

I do not think so.

Side: No

"If you were a snail would you like to be killed by a giant?"

Actually, if I were a snail I wouldn't have the brainpower to even conceive that as a possibility.

Side: Yes

Theres just no reason to kill a snail. You cant eat it so whats the point.

Side: No

Actually you can eat it. Snails are served in France and in French restaurants.

Here's a picture of it: http://steamykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/escargot-shells.jpg

Here is some more supporting evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escargot

I have never had snails but I intend to.

If I was really, really, really hungry. I just might eat it, but only to avoid starvation.

Side: No

No, but I would freak out, and probably run away in a panic, because that thing is horrifying looking.

Side: No

What did the poor guy ever do to you? It is a living thing, imagine you were the snail and someone killed you by stepping on you or kicking you to the road to let the passing cars crush you.

Side: No

Why would you kill a creature for nothing. It's not even like it's in your house or infectious. It's just another organism in a fight for survival against the great forces of this planet just like you.

If it's just to kill a snail because they serve no significant purpose in your life, and are smaller, does that mean it's just for a giant who doesn't even know of human existence to step on and kill us after discovering us, just for laughs.

Side: No

my argument isn't in favor of extreme buddhism, I'm just saying that it's best to spare it if it's not affecting you.

Side: No

No. I'd be ther awkward girl because I would just stare at it and then add it to my fish tank or give it an environment to thrive on.

Side: No

No. I would have no joy with killing such a harmless little creature.

Side: No
