How do slugs feel?

Answer 1

The snail and slug clade (Gastropoda) is a very vast class of invertebrates. They do not have a true "brain" per-se, but rather a group of ganglia. While it has not been conclusively proven that sea snails such as conches and abalone feel pain, there is evidence that Heterobranchia snails (such as the common garden snail) have nociceptors (pain receptors). In addition, fear conditioning and avoidance learning have been documented in snails of this clade.

That being said, "only the animal knows" if they feel pain, as we are unable to experience what they are experiencing at any given moment. It could be that pain is felt in a different way we are as of yet unaware of.

Answer 2

Slippery.....slugs produce a mucus to help them move since they are gastropods.

On the Lighter side

"If you stomp us, do we not ooze green?" "If you trap us, do we not scream?" When we see you coming, we run, our fastest never seem to be fast enough.

Those of you who torture us with salt and diatenatious earth earth which slices our feet best beware. We will march from our dark damp hiding areas each night and "fight you on land, from the air and by the sea" We will eat your prize tomatoes and foul your cukes, we will never give up as we too feel. We feel hunger and the urge to wander gardens at will. We feel sorrow and loss at the damage you humans cause our slower bretheren should they linger past dawn and get caught in the food sourse. OH YES, we feel!!!! And we will have our revenge!!!
