                        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.




                 Thank you,

                        Jess
