Florida deer hunt halted by federal judge order
A federal judge postponed a dawn deer hunt in Everglades National Park amid a challenge by animal protection groups. Judge Eugene Spellman ordered both sides to appear and said he would assess potential federal law violations before allowing the plan to proceed. The ruling delays a hunt aimed at thinning about 5,500 deer and ending their distress from overcrowding and parasites.
