*[Enwl-eng] This island's deer are loved, but some want to slaughter them

[enwl]

There are humane ways to address overpopulation. This Island's Deer Do Not Need To Be Slaughtered. Save Catalina Deer!      Sign Now        On Santa Catalina Island, where children joyfully mistake the local deer for Santa's reindeer, a controversial proposal to eradicate these animals has caused significant distress among residents and visitors. This proposal to eliminate the entire deer population by shooting them from helicopters not only threatens the gentle creatures that have captivated the hearts of islanders but also challenges the ecological balance of this unique ecosystem.   Sign this petition to urge the Catalina Island Conservancy and Los Angeles County officials to find humane, non-lethal methods for managing the deer population on Catalina Island.   Introduced nearly a century ago, the deer on Catalina Island have become more than just wildlife; they are a part of the community's fabric and children's imaginations. While their growing numbers pose ecological concerns, the solution should respect both the environment and the animals' welfare. It's crucial to explore sustainable wildlife management methods that can balance the ecological needs of the island without resorting to inhumane culling. Sign the petition to call for ethical and compassionate wildlife management on Catalina Island, protecting its unique biodiversity and the deer cherished by the community.
