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.

That's why it was so long before Noah found any green shoots or leaves,
blasted slugs; which don't seem to drown; had them as soon as they tried to
come out

LOL, though I think I might ask that you spare us the previous 12 books

Sad, isn't it!!
The white dove, because of its inert, gentle characteristics, has become
the de facto symbol for peace.
Extending the analogy, it just goes to show, doesn't it, that if you are
kind and gentle and considerate, you are just swallowed up by violence .
. . . and, moreover, that people think that is ok ((((((((((

What could be more gentle than a quiet vegetarian going its own way,
never attacking another animal ...



Then, in practice, the gentle 'knit their own sandals' type of animal
will eventually be overrun and destroyed by the apparently nasty brutish
meat eaters.
However not to worry Kay=, the media is now controlled by the vegetarian
supporters so I've no doubt they will survive and increase in numbers.
