It's a cruel way to kill a snail, and why would you want to. If you are trying to protect plants they are eating in your garden just put crushed egg shells around the base of the plant, the snails don't like this as their skin is very sensitive. Putting salt on them, must be extremely painful, it would be like pouring salt into an open wound for a human!

Why do snails die with salt?
Snails do not have a protective layer of dead keratinized cells over their body like we do. So once they come into contact with the salt they become dehydrated and die. For example, we would not die if our skin came into contact with salt. But if we drank large amounts of salt water, we would dehydrate because there isn't a layer of dead keratinized cells lining the inside of our bodies.
