flag Los Angeles County opposes the Catalina Island Conservancy’s plan to eliminate all mule deer, citing wildfire risks, while the conservancy defends the removal as ecologically necessary.

flag A plan by the Catalina Island Conservancy to eliminate all mule deer on the island is facing legal and political pushback from Los Angeles County officials, who call it reckless and inhumane. flag County leaders argue deer grazing helps control brush and reducing their numbers could increase wildfire risk in the island’s high-fire zone. flag The conservancy counters that scientific experts support deer removal to restore ecosystems and reduce fire danger, rejecting the county’s concerns as based on misinformation. flag The dispute centers on whether total removal or population thinning better protects the island’s environment and communities.
