Please donât only read half of my anserrs or take parts out of context. My first reply said exactly this⌠He can do it, just should not expect a big impact⌠Everything else was an ongoing conversation with replies.tp replies ⌠and btw⌠location was never mentioned. For all i know it could very well be in South AmericaâŚ
Salt is not a humane way to kill them, itâs possible they feel pain and they die slowly

I read your whole answers, instead of just making a causious call to make sure species is correct and check local species, not show that activity to others and not create something from shells in masse, not using salt, you started talking about whole world, about eradication invasive species from continents, etc., when itâs just one person willing to do something, your answers are not on the scale weâre talking about, you can be pessimistic, but you canât force people to not make an actually good thing, even if impact is low, thereâre many saved plants from each killed snail.
To add no, weâre talking about different part of the world.
Well I want to say something, that I live in Delhi(India) so there are not much snail species that I have seen, and none similar to Giant African Snail, so I wonât be killing any native or endangered species, and yes I am all by myself, so there will be no problem about bunch of people killing snail similar to Giant African snail, and not only there invasiveness that hits me, it is also little kids in park catch them with bare hands and think this is cool, they take them as pets to home and spread the problem, and also they contain harmful pathogen that can harm humans(And I hate touching wild animals with bare hands when I see someone touching lions and tiger with bare hands it doesnât feel good,
As for way of killing them I donât know what else to do, I can be either a true human who donât hurt any snail and see them peacefully to spread or I do stop them for spreading.
And not only this but rock pigeon is also the one thatâs same in the way they are invasive and taking shelter of the native birds, and also food shortage also come here, but I canât do anything about them(can I?) I canât kill them, my family will banish me) wait can I eat them(no I am vegeterian)I can do nothing about them, But I saw no invasive species is there in my village because there food chain is lot bigger than ours, and also village is in jungle so the invasive species I saw here cannot live there which make me a little chill.

And also a NGO in south of india is eradicating Giant African Snail by collecting them from local people and giving them money and they make soaps out of there slimes. That looks like a best way

Are you kidding me? âŚSorry, but you are just about to leave the basis for an insightful discurs and I will save my breath on you here as I feel it will lead nowhereâŚ
Whatâs that hard if this is not the topic about what youâre talking about? You started the âlater discussionâ, not others.
So why would this not be an option? Bring your snails to this NGO and I am sure they would be happy to give you empty shells they have?
So now that I know you are in India (never was mentioned before actually) I am btw. still convinced that the snail is there to stay. Already well established all over the place and fighting it is a fight against windmills. You can collect them if it feels right for you, but I would not expect a big impact even from what the NGO is doing.
You are aware that forum discussions are not streamline and narrow? Of course it is about someone trying to keep an invasive at bay and it is totally fine to talk about the sense behind that as well, even if you do not like it. I really don´t get your issue here.
If you want to explain, please use the messenger function or just leave me alone. I feel you actually lead the discussion already to far away from the point, by not getting my comments and I really dn´t think thats fair to the OP
I donât have issue with that, itâs just that you only talk about how itâs ineffective, if you know how to make it more effective, Iâm sure itâs a valuable information weâre seeking for, just learning to live with invasive species isnât the best advice, eliminating each specimen makes a difference, itâs even more helpful to do on small scale if species is spreading fast.
I donât think itâs fair to OP to tell him heâs doing a meaningless job.
I live in delhi, they are in kerala(south india) so they are of no help
Ok. But maybe they can give you soe advice on your question as they seem to have experience?
they have eliminated all invasive snails in parks in some parts of kerala and are working on private property where snails are more.
