There are a couple of ways to kill slugs without harming any animals or the environment. Use slug bait like Sluggo which is safe for animals. Also a line of diatomaceous earth around the plants will prevent slugs/snails from crossing the line. The last is a trap made out of a drinking water bottle from freddiemoney:
"I cut the top of the bottles off, flipped them over and pushed them back in and filled it up about a third of the way with frozen Fruitopia grape juice concentrate. Worked like a charm! "
The third way is one of my favorite. There are these killer snails called decollate snails. They eat the snails and their eggs. I love them. Do not use snail bait around them or it wil kill them. Hope this helps.
