@NatureMC 💯 on the no ai slop recommendation, but are there really a significant amount of people on fb now advocating saving the snails!?

My whole gardening and permaculture feeds are always full of people wanting them gone.

My garden crows lift them up and drop them on the concrete with a satisfying crunch, so they're easier to snack on and I was always thinking that's normal and good behavior...

Am I the baddie?

@iwein Well, as you can read in my article, most of the land snails are important for the soil food chain and soil health, and gardeners should differ between species. I am surprised that permaculture experts could know so little about this?

I don't know if you are a baddie but for your crows it's natural behaviour. Natural enemies can be garden helpers against the damaging species.
Are you a crow? 😉

Spoken from France, where people still eat Helix pomatia: Even here these snails are under

@iwein protection: you can collect only bigger sizes and during a fixed time. You see: Homo sapiens isn't a crow yet. 😎

For the amount on FB: If you are there, your algorithms may be adapted. I'm not on FB and use a completely dead account for research only. So I don't see recommendations. But the main sites I found as origin of the crap, have about 250k followers each. And their comments are full of hearts and aww. Probably also AI-fake-accounts. But I'm not paid enough to research this.
