Is this considered animal cruelty?

My teenage neighbors made a giant maze out of grains of salt in the the middle of their driveway and they placed dozens of small slugs in the maze. Isn’t that totally wrong?

No. I wouldn’t consider this animal cruelty. She is not hurting the slugs. When I was young I used to build houses for toads. I would only play with the toads for like 20 minutes, then they were off to hop where ever they pleased. I never hurt the toads, I loved them. I’m sure your neighbor just loves the slugs and wanted to play with them.

I say that is cruel. Slugs probably feel pain and suffering, so if they got out of the maze; they would hurt by the salt. So I say that is plain wrong. Animals shouldn’t suffer for entertainment!!!

Hey Archangel, rice will not hurt birds. Try again.
And the maze thing, not really cruel, but really dumb. They need to find more constructive things to do with their time.

slugs aren’t insects…they’re molusks. I think it’s wrong what your neigbors are doing. Everything on earth has a purpose and to be intentionally cruiel to any creature is a crime in my book. What happened to the slugs? They may be slimy and gross, but they’re here for a reason…they wouldn’t be here otherwise.

that is extremely cruel but wouldn’t fall under the catagory of animal cruelty because slugs are an insect and only rely on their senses they cannot actually think. the slugs are drawn to the salt because of the smell of it and then once they touch it, it draws the fluids out of their body and they die of dehydration.
