The shell is broken into several pieces, and I can see the snail’s body through the cracks. There are signs of life, but it is not moving along the path anymore. I’m sure it’s in shock now and I don’t have confidence in its chances located there.
I’ve read this guide on caring for snails that have been stepped on, but I don’t know if it’s safe to move it now, if I have a container for it in my shared accommodation, or generally where to start.
I didn’t even have a credit card to scoop him up and leave him somewhere safer. I had to keep going but I can return tomorrow and check if it’s still there.
You shouldn’t care about what people say who think a hurt mollusc isn’t worth consideration and empathy, because they aren’t ones with a reliable moral compass.
Feeling responsible for your actions and trying to help are good traits!
True, and I appreciate you saying that. As that saying goes, “be the change you want to see in the world”.
