Fwd: [FoA] Fairfield CT Deer Alert

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend,

 

 

Friends of Animals and area

residents have been attending meetings and spreading the word through

educational leafleting and peaceful demonstrations that the

Conservation Commission Subcommittee on Deer Management is currently

discussing ways to kill and manage deer in Open Space areas of Fairfield.

 

 

This

subcommittee will be holding a meeting on August 24, inviting Fairfield

residents to speak about this issue. Please mark your calendar for

this date and plan to attend. Speakers will be limited to five minutes

and must sign in as they arrive.

 

 

It is extremely important that the message be

heard that we do not want Fairfield

to become a place where deer are subjected to violence. The deer have

the right to be left alone as they are part of this urban environment

to which we all belong.

 

 

 

“This deer hunt isn’t

justified morally or scientifically. It’s offered to appease a few

local hunters who have long had far too much influence locally and

nationally. The deer should be off-limits to hunters, and those who

find pleasure in killing deer should instead control themselves,†says

Priscilla Feral, President, Friends of Animals.

 

 

 

If you cannot attend, please

send a letter to the Conservation Department expressing your thoughts

about the killing of deer in Open Space areas. Letters should be

directed to:
