To all county officails, Mayor Currin, Council Members and Anthony Bales:
We are opposing your proposal for a Bow Hunt in the Hudson. Bow hunting is not a civilized method of controling deer populations. It is inherently cruel and inhumane. Massive information is available showing the realities of the Deers suffering from thier wounds a slow and painful death. The statistics are that an Adult Hunter with a 70lb bow, have wounding rates of 50% at best. That leaves the other 50% laying in pools of blood gasping and crying until they die from several hours to days.
Stop the Bow Hunt in Hudson, OH
Greetings, Mayor Currin, Council Members and Anthony Bales:
We are opposing your proposal for a Bow Hunt in the Hudson. Bow hunting is not a civilized method of controlling deer populations. It is inherently cruel and inhumane. Massive information is available showing the realities of these animals suffering from their wounds a slow and painful death. The statistics are that an Adult Hunter with a 70lb bow, have wounding rates of 50% at best. That leaves the other 50% laying in pools of blood gasping and crying until they die from several hours to days. The statistics also prove with out a doubt that killing the Deer in any manner perpetuates the populations of Deer, by leaving what deer don't end up being killed, with an abundant food supply, thus, increasing the population in the rebound effect. It is time for your local government to stop cooperating with the "special interest" group, known as the "Hunters" and implement the FDA approved vaccine for Deer Birth Control. There are many experts in the field that would be happy to help along with volunteers that would help with a more progressive means to control the Deer population.
