The hairy snails and their allies?
Now I'm sure of one thing--I don't know anything about snails. But I do know that the concept of "allies" generally involves some degree of sentience, and most snails seem to have a dearth of this quality. Of course, I know my ignorance may extend to a zoological concept of "allies" beyond that with which I am familiar, but if that's the case, then there should be some link to an appropriate article explaining the concept. Otherwise, it just looks like someone is trying to make a funny. 76.106.149.108 (talk) 05:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * From the on-line version of Merriam-Webster's dictionary (link here): (plural al·lies): a plant or animal linked to another by genetic or taxonomic proximity. XenoVon (talk) 11:26, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
