The Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected Catalina Island's plan to shoot and kill more than 1,700 deer from a helicopter.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected Catalina Island's plan to shoot and kill their entire deer population from a helicopter on Tuesday.'I understand the Conservancy's concerns with the impact of the deer population, but I disagree that shooting hundreds of animals from helicopters is the right solution,' Supervisor Janice Hahn said.Hahn, who represents Catalina Island called the plan 'extreme.
'I am asking the Conservancy to put this plan on hold and reconsider several alternative proposals they had previously dismissed– including relocating the deer, extending the deer hunting season to thin the herd, and sterilization,' she said. The Conservancy argued that the mule deer population threatened the island's ecosystem. Many of the native plants on the island have been wrapped in a makeshift cage to stop the invasive species from eating them.
