I just froze a slug to death.

Strap the slug to a table, connect him to a lightening rod on your roof, and when the spark strikes, run about the house proclaiming, "He's alive! He's alive!"

@CM: How would you serve it to them?

Just needed to get this off my chest.
I left some beer out in the garden, anyway when I went out to get them they were covered in slugs. They must have been attracted to the smooth surface of the beer bottles.
I washed the bottles anyway and stuck them in the freezer to some quick chilling.
Took them out, drank them last night.
Anyway earlier I was getting some frozen peas out of the freezer when I noticed a thumb sized slug, frozen solid.
The guilt I possess now that I froze a live creature to death is overcoming me.

What should i do to deal with this?

The cheeky cnut was after your beers. Defrost him and have yourself a slug sambo.

Why hasnt anyone mentioned that giving beer to slugs will kill them!!

FACT!

Take the said Slug and place it's corpse back in it's natural habitat. Then, wait. Wait some more, and whichever is the first slug to rape the corpse is the winner. He will be declared King Slug and his name will live on in the slug community for generations.

Get a matchbox and put him into it. Stick out a few more beers to attract back his friends. When they've all turned up, have a wake. The funeral can be on Monday. You'll have to ask if they want him buried or cremated. Let them all regale stories of how slippery a guy he was, and how fond of cabbage he was. They'll say that when they first met him they were a bit wary of him, as they suspected that he wasn't a slug at all, but a homeless snail looking for some new friends, having being disowned by his own ones. Facilitate them as much as possible. If they want to, tell them they you can use your house for the reading of the will in a few weeks time, but warn them to stay away from the freezer, though some may want to see where he died. Finally, if you see any of them going up a wall or sliding towards birds, be very wary, just in case things have got too much for them after his loss and they are thinking of ending it all.

That's a great response, well done. Some people might take that the wrong way. Be careful with your responses here, Mods might pick you up for that. OP have a drink for your departed buddy and bury him in the garden.

I might add, I stood on a snail last night, so I share your pain. I know it is not much of a defence, but it was dark. I don't know if he died. I suppose you could say it was a step and run incident. If he did survive, what with the recession, it will be hard for him to find someone to do the house repairs.

Surely it wont be too hard with all the construction workers available?
