Hunting Defined

We talked about "NO HUNTING" as a slogan, but we mean "NO LETHAL" which doesn't have much of a ring to it.  Somewhere prominent on the main site, most likely the home page we'll need to define our goals and state clearly that our "NO HUNTING" slogan means

  • No killing
  • No sharpshooting 
  • No captive bolt
  • And especially "NO (lethal) DEER Management"
  • As well as NO HUNTING

I think we can expect Solon to use the tag line "Comprehensive Deer Management" to hide the fact that they want to kill. They may even admit to "lethal and non-lethal", but if history (Strieter Lite) is any measure we can expect that anything "non-lethal" will be very half hearted.

  1. Maybe something like... the City of Solon defines "Comprehensive Deer Mgmt" as "sharpshooting" firing guns in residential backyards, "bow hunting" shooting razor-tipped arrows on neighbor's properties, "captive bolt" luring and trapping deer with food and then driving bolts into their heads as they thrash in cages, again in your neighborhood. The city finds these methods acceptable in a residential community. We find this "Comprehensive Deer Mgmt" slaughter unsafe, barbaric, and unnecessary. A combination of non-lethal alternatives, proven effective, is the only safe Comprehensive Deer Mgmt acceptable in civilized society, in Solon.
