    A PINK slug! Never seen one of those before

    It is on the just-out updated Endangered species list. Slugs are on my short(2 only) list of animals I dislike, but for that one I would make an exception!

    It's still a slug, though! Slugs are slimy and eat garden plants

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    We hoomins probably don't look too cute to them either!

    A slug is a slug is a slug - no matter what color he/she is.. They are still nasty and give me the creeps, and even if this pretty pink one who is on the endangered species list, showed up here, then there would be one less of this variety to protect, and it would meet the same fate as all the other slugs who made the mistake of visiting this piece of real estate.

    Slugs are disgusting................

    Gee, I'm so glad someone said it first. They have ruined so many of our plants, they are SO nasty. I don't believe they have one redeeming quality, not one. I think the hot pink one is even freakin' creepier! Slugs...they are simply revolting to me

    Hey, folks, the only one of us that has even a remote chance of running into one of these is Carole, and I don't think she's into going hiking in the upper reaches of Mount Katupur in New South Wales, Australia!
