We the undersigned request you stop the hunt in Lower Makefield Township, Yardley, PA 19067.

HUNTING IN RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES IS NOT THE SOLUTION. KILLING IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT RESOURCE TOOL. In fact, countless studies have shown that deer hunting actually boosts the reproductive rates in deer populations. Deer who live under non-hunting conditions, for example, typically produce one offspring, while deer who are hunted are far more likely to bear twins and triplets. 

We request humane alternatives and non-lethal solutions. Stop the killing and slaughter that permeates OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.There is no scientific
evidence to justify this hunt.

We have a chance to be more progressive stewards of our environment with humane alternatives. We do not want our taxpayers dollars to be spent for hunts. It is a disregard for humanity and the safety of our community to bring guns and archery into our peaceful neighborhood.

Killing teaches our children that the way to solve a problem if there is a perceived issue is with guns and violence. This is not the message we want to send our children.

We invite you to review the extensive literature on humane wildlife management and now call upon the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND REPRESENTATIVES  to use these resources safely, effectively, and humanely.

Let the board know how you feel. Request a moratorium on the hunt now and to use humane alternatives to preserve our community at:
Write the board members, make a phone call. Tell them to stop the hunt and use humane alternatives to co-exist with the wildlife in our community. Contact information--ASK FOR A REPLY.
