Woman Steps On Snail, Brings Him To Vet To Fix His Shell
16Kviews
It rains a lot in Tel Aviv this time of the year, so moisture-loving garden snails come out – just like this particular snail, who got accidentally stepped on by a woman. The lady who injured the animal happened to believe that all lives matter, so she rushed the snail to the HaClinica animal hospital. There, they started to fix his shell.
“For the broken shell, we need a combination of patience and finesse with epoxy glue” the clinic wrote, as translated by Israeli blog From The Grapevine. “We make sure the glue stays outside the shell and does not penetrate the inner patch.”
The operation was a success. Soon the time came for the snail to move back into his little portable house. They named the snail Chevy. The brave survivor will stay at a clinic for a few more weeks or months to make sure he is ready to go back into the wild.

If you even care for such a small buddy, you're the best!
My kind of person. Respect of ALL life :)
Wow this is sweet
Well, in our country we kill them (or let the ducks do it), because they eat our Food.... But interesting to see, that a snail could survive without shell and even walk back into it, I always thought there are only organs within the shell without other protection
Very sad to hear you do that for that reason. It's not our world, we just share it with all other creatures so they have as much right to eat as you do.
All of gods creatures deserve to live on this earth as much as you and I,we will never learn.
Well said,thankyou.
of course you do, every farmer does, everywhere in the world! And the ones who don't use chemicals to do it (which is a very good idea by the way), do it using natural solution or natural predators. Or they eat directly snails...wait that's only in France...:D
They put him back into the wild- three seconds later- oh dear I stepped in a snail! Oh well!
This person is awesome! She reminds a lot of when i was a kid i use to cry whenever i even accidently crush a snail or a cockroach because i felt sorry for them (i still do sometimes)
Newsflash: Yesterday a man stopped breathing and saved countless airborne bacteria! (joke inside people...just breath...or not :P)
How much was the bill?
i stepped on a snail in second grade and didnt do anything now i feel reeaaally bad
Oh wow!
