Since 2023, CRPA has been fighting back against the Catalina Conservancy (and others), and the proposal to viciously slaughter the mule deer population on Catalina Island.
The original plan called for helicopters to fly over the island with high-powered rifles to thin the mule deer population in an attempt to rebalance the ecosystem. This despite the legitimate question as to whether the species is even responsible for the imbalance to begin with. Now the plan is to use ground-based “mercenaries” to wipe out the deer.
In the latest installment of CRPA TV, CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis stops by to provide an update on this ongoing issue, which brings in players like the LA County Board of Supervisors and LA County Fire. Rick explains the nuances of the issue and how hunters, conservationists, and animal rights advocates have united in opposition to the new plan.
The advocacy of our members and other groups scuttled the initial proposal and we’ll need to step up once again! Watch the video to find out how to make your voice heard.
