#2 GALS = giant African land snail

My favorite reader's comment:
Anyone else have a problem with this invasive species being identified as "African"? I know racism is a big problem in America but identifying Blacks with snails is carrying it a bit too far.

#3 Invasive species are invasive species because no one is eating them in their new environment. I suggest we breed giant Frenchmen to prey on these monsters.
