Here we go again. The Post-Gazette reporter who claimed we have THOUSANDS of deer in Mt. Lebanon, now says that most of the protests have been lawful.
Sorry, John Hayes, but ALL of the protests have been lawful and peaceful. It is our constitutional right to protest.
I am sick and tired of the scare tactics being used for the deer killing which will start on Monday night.
Commissioner Kristen Linfante wrote in an email to an anti-deer cull person:
Please feel free to call me if you have additional questions. In addition, I know you alerted us to a protest that will take place at the Connor Rd site. Considering the placement of that sight, and the placement of the no trespassing signage, I do want to warn you that the police officer that accompanied me to the site informed me that any protesters will likely be arrested for trespassing. This is not meant to be a threat from me - I am simply telling you what the officer told me.
I have yet to get a response to my Thursday, March 5, 2015 6:16 PM email to Manager Steve Feller, Chief Coleman McDonough, and the Commission concerning the use of Bird Park. Merlin Benner is crying "Harassment" when people are trying to find out about Bird Park.
You're damn right there is some concern there, Mr. Benner. We have a right to know if you are shooting in Bird Park! Nobody will confirm or deny use of Bird Park.
Brian Benner of Wildlife Services* said the company is cooperating with police.
“We haven’t had many real problems yet,” he said. “People are trying to find out where the corrals are, and there’s some concern there.”
Deputy Chief Aaron Lauth was quoted as saying
“We haven’t been told by the contractor that anyone has caused damage to equipment or done anything else that would interfere or make [the site] unattractive to animals,” he said.So, Mr. Benner, why are you saying that you don't trust us? Mr. Hayes, I don't see anything unlawful. Knock it off, Boys.
*Note to John Hayes. The name of the company is Wildlife Specialists LLC, not Wildlife Services. We stopped doing business with those clowns in 2008.
