Jesus fuck the snails LIVE? What a wild article.

Being eaten is a mercy at that point.

The birds don’t even eat the snails, just the eyes. They grow back and the snail is just fine apparently.

“Ah jeeze I’m blind on a leaf again! That’s the last time I eat bird shit!” says the snail, actively meandering it’s way towards a particularly appetizing pile of parasite-laden bird shit.

Clearly I didn't read it closely enough! You just know there are snails that have their eyes eaten regularly.
