r~... <br /> WILDLIPP ~ HAWAII <br /> May 11, 2001 a ~ - ~ <br /> r t <br /> The Honorable Dominic Yagong <br /> 25 Aupu~u Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Councilman Yagong, <br /> As President of the Wildlife Conservation Association of Hawai' i, I would like to <br /> <br /> -take this tin's to express my support for your addition of anon-discriminatory <br /> condition into the contract for the next animal shelter contractor. This condition <br /> allows all people in the general public including hunters the ability to adopt <br /> impounded and sheltered dogs from the Humane Society shelters. Discrimination <br /> against hunters has been a problem in the past and this new condition gives the <br /> hunter a fair chance to own animals from the animal shelters. <br /> As stated in your addendum, the appropriation of funding to Account No. 010-239- <br /> 5239.01 will not be approved unless the contractor agrees to "submit a written <br /> assurance to allow hunters the chance to adopt impounded and sheltered dogs." <br /> Tlus gives the hunter the chance to show their ability to take and care for sheltered <br /> dogs and the dogs the chance to show their natural ability as hunters. There are <br /> many good caring hunters on this island as there are ma3~y good dogs that are denied <br /> their chance to do what instinctively is within them. <br /> I thank you for taking the time to consider this issue as one of importance for I <br /> speak not only for myself but for a large number of the Wildlife Conservation <br /> Association of Hawai'i's members who themselves are avid hunters like me. <br /> Once again, many thanks to you. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> No• _ _ <br /> Lloyd E.
