Save the maggot

[Rumpled4skin]

Who wants to join my save the maggot association. To prevent all this maggot abuse, sticking hooks through them must hurt and then they are thrown into the water to drown or to be eaten by a fish. They seem to be discarded or abused like they don't have feelings or feel pain!!!! I think its a disgrace!!! I will of course need financial funding if you are willing to help or have ideas or fundraising, The Maggots need you NOW!!!!!!!!

What about worms they have feelings to.
And just an idea for your fundraising dress yourself up as a giant maggot and threaten to wriggle over every woman you come across unless they fund your wonderful idea..

Maggots have a vital role to play in the treatment of vascular problems, and as such should be cherished. Maggots eat only necrotic flesh, and are therefore a useful tool in the treatment of 'manky' wounds. Some doctors prefer to call this 'larvae therapy' as this seems to appeal more to the patients, but those of us in the know bow down in praise of the humble maggot.

I can honestly say i have never heard anything so stupid.... provided you are actually being serious! Maggots don't need saving, there are more than enough out there.

They dont drown either as you will notice by the fact that in water they keep moving and squirming for hours.

Good question, rumpled4skin.

How to raise money, eh? How about a fishing competition? No, maybe not. All right, set up a maggot farm and sell them for medical research, thus giving them an enjoyable life of chewing while bringing in funds.

Note to eifionlewis: this is what is broadly known as humour.
It's something we answerbankers use to lighten up our sad lives.

I am so shocked that you find this subject humorous, scientific research!! where they would make these maggots smoke 60 cigarettes a day and then test beauty products on them!! the last fishing competition I went to, I ended up giving CPR to many maggots!!

I shudder at the thought!!! you are so callous
