Funny how the visual aspect comes in to play.
I just can not see a slug ever becoming a symbol for peace !!!!!!!!

....and, lo, Noah sent forth a slug from the Ark, and presently she
returned with traces of clematis, yea, even of hostas, on her chops,
and then did Noah rejoice mightily, saying now truly do I believe that
the waters have returned, even unto their allotted place which is
below the firmament, and my seed even unto the umpteenth generation
shall be at peace in their gardens, and if they think gardening
involves peace, well, verily I say unto them, they have another think
coming.

The Thirteenth Book of Mike, 22:33.
