February 12, 2001 <br /> Harry Kim, <br /> Hawaii Mayor <br /> <br /> 25Aupuni St, l7m 215 <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> 3`our honorable Mayor, Mr. Kim, <br /> I would like to bring to your attention the situation at the Waimea/Kamuela <br /> Humane Society. When I visited there the beginning of this month I mas shocked by <br /> what 1 observed. It seems there rs a lack of everything -meaning the animals seem to <br /> be <br /> lacking irr almost every aspect of care. They were without water, They were without <br /> food. And they were without anyone to tend to them during the business hours. 1 did <br /> not go into the facility, I just saw from the outside -only the dogs. It's probably a <br /> good thing I did not see the other animals on the inside. What !witnessed was not <br /> honorable at all. - - <br /> I'm not one for pointing fingers. I just want it so that the animals have the <br /> care they deserve, which is nothing short of good care. <br /> As all living things deserve respect, so do these animals. Fos the sake olthe <br /> animals, please do something to generate a more caring facility and staA: The <br /> animals can not take care of themselue, it's up to us to ossist them and look after <br /> them. There are some questions I have concerning where the money is going to take <br /> care of these facilities. I understand the facility in Hilo is much better oA; but that's <br /> because it's ouiried/managed by Elie <br /> IGatii~e Flawatfans,~is-that correcf.~ What - - <br /> percentage of the Humane Society budget goes to the Hilo facrlity? What percentage <br /> goes to thelfafluaXona facflitg and~hat perrentage goes to the Waimea/Ifamuela <br /> facrlity? I realize each one has there own situation -whereas, maybe the <br /> Waimea/Kamuela facility is smaller, therefore receives a smaller piece of the pie. I'm <br /> still Interested in finding thatout. Who manages/avarsees-all of these facilities? <br /> My tendency is to go straight to the top to get the answers I need, so that's <br /> why I'm sending thts to you. <br /> Thank you for your time and effort on behalf of the animal welfare olthis fair <br /> and beautihrl island) <br /> Cordrally <br /> ~~~~0~ 4 v~.J <br /> LelVore Ednie <br /> PO Box 389729 <br /> Waikoloa, HI96738 <br /> <br />
