There may be semantics to be split as to whether a broo larva is
'sentient' or not, though then again, that way may lead an abortion
bunfight. You're right about them not being vegans, of course. Thus
the Simpsons' Apu would doubtless find them to be 'vegetarian monsters'...
BTW, Ian, the MIME-encoded HTML is a bit of a pain in the neck, can
that possibly be mercy-killed, too? Ta.
Cheers,
Alex.
