| | | Re: 1st Baby Slow Worm It could have been an accident, they are very small. Someone walking along a path could easily stand on one. |

| | | Re: 1st Baby Slow Worm Regrettably, the pressure marks suggested that the whole length of someones foot had pressed over it's full length. When I picked it up
the underside was pierced and mashed and only the top silver skin was holding it together. The silver colouring was so very obvious against the tarmac that I do not believe it was accidently trodden on.

| | | Re: 1st Baby Slow Worm The slow worm incident is not as weird as the bolt cutters. That's HORRIBLE!
Personally I think society has always had this "element".
I imagine the slow worm was mistaken for a snake and some people have a dislike of them. This means a great big excuse for an irrational display of fear under a thin disguise of bravado.
Rational people will probably find this sort of behaviour disgusting. That's because it's mindless and cruel!!!
