Dave, a 16-inch-long earthworm discovered recently in England, will become part of the collection at the Natural History Museum in London. To the chagrin of many of his social media fans, Dave was killed for scientific reasons and will now be on display as part of the museum’s collection. Twitter users expressed their anger at the worm’s fate at #davetheworm and even created a Twitter account for the dead invertebrate, @PoorDaveTheWorm.
