Deer killing on Catalina Island to proceed after judge
By The BriefBrief
A judge tentatively denied a request to pause the eradication of mule deer on Catalina Island, allowing the Catalina Island Conservancy to proceed under a California Department of Fish and Wildlife permit. The conservancy plans to kill about 200 deer from September through October, with broader expansion next year, while a Los Angeles County supervisor asked the governor to intervene.
WHO: A judge; Catalina Island Conservancy; Pepe Barton (communications director); California Department of Fish and Wildlife; Los Angeles County supervisor; governor; hunting groups and concerned citizens; Catalina Island Conservancy (manages 88% of the island).
WHAT: A court challenge failed to temporarily halt the planned mule deer eradication on Catalina Island, and the conservancy will proceed with an initial phase killing about 200 deer.
WHEN: Reported Sep 2, 2026 at 12:53 PM ET
WHERE: Catalina Island, California
WHY: The judge tentatively rejected a request for a temporary halt, so the permit-authorized eradication plan was allowed to continue.
