<br /> Here is another quote from a lengthy paper on the H.S.U.S.: <br /> <br /> " HSUS with it's 1.3 million members calls it's self the nations largest animal protection <br /> organization. Few people know that HSUS's animal protection philosophy is not animal <br /> <br /> welfare but an animal rights philosophy that says It is morally wrong for humans to use <br /> or kill animals and that they have had that philosophy since 1990.(1)In recent years HSUS <br /> elected to call themselves "animal protectionists" to disassociate their group from the bad <br /> press that the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and PETA have brought to animal rights." <br /> causes. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> I respectfully request the County Council, in view of the above, to insure that whoever <br /> has the animal shelter contract on the Big Island never again be allowed to discriminate <br /> for their own philosophical purposes who may or may not adopt a dog, unless that person <br /> is a documented animal abuser. I further request that the Council, at another time soon, <br /> perhaps, place in the Animal Shelter contract the requirement that all adopted dogs, and <br /> all euthanized dogs, shall be measured from nose tip to tail base, weighed, and <br /> photographed. This is for their own record keeping of adoption policy effectiveness, and <br /> to insure the Council and the people of the Big Island that ALL dogs have an effective <br /> chance of adoption. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> B. Ka'imiloa Chrisman, M.D. <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
