Solon Fact Sheet

What USDA Wildlife Services Does

Wildlife Services is a government agency which kills more than one millionanimals and spends more than $100 million in tax dollars annually.

Animals are shot, poisoned, gassed, snared, and trapped in leg hold traps.They are responsible for the recent poisoning of thousands of birds thatwere seen falling out of the sky in several areas of the country.

In 2009, Wildlife Services killed 4,120, 295 animals.

As a business model this is perfect. First they are called to assess a problemand then they are hired to fixit.

What Ohio Division of Wildlife (ODOW) Does

ODOW has been working for years to bolster dwindling numbers of “sporthunters” thru a program of “Urban Hunting” which provides morehunting access which hunters apparently demand.

Scott Peters (ODNR) has visited many suburban communities to spread theword that “Solon uses sharpshooters. That’s a quick fix but long term

hunting is the answer.”

The ODNR refuses to approve the use of deer contraceptives in deermanagement even though the federal EPA has approved it. This is in spiteof tests which have shown them to be effective.
