Shave the Quail

1. Term used to denote taking the feathers off of game quail after the hunt before preparing for cooking.
2. A play on words for the popular phrase: "Save the Whales"..."Shave the Quails"

On the Official Website of Slab-City, there is a picture of the first guardshack upon entering Slab City, where the local residents painted "Shave the Quail", in protest of the hunting that diminishes the Quail population in the local desert area. A reference to hunters "shaving the quail" to eat, whilst the local population "saves the quails" by throwing out cracked corn to help them multiply.
