A plan to eradicate all mule deer on Catalina Island will proceed after a judge tentatively rejected a request to halt the process. The decision came despite last-minute appeals to stop the killing.

A Los Angeles County supervisor has become involved, asking the governor to intervene in the situation.

Further details about the eradication plan and the efforts to stop it are available from the source, which has reported on the developments surrounding the mule deer on Catalina Island.
