Island Humane Society provides the Kona community. <br /> I thought I should share a recent experience that I had Saturday morning Triathlon day. It was early, around <br /> 8:too a.m., and I was driving on Palani and-saw what seemed to be a large mangled black dog with head <br /> decapitated, the body was right next to the road. <br /> I called Ginger Towle who advised me to call Hawaii Island Humane Society, she said they wouldn't be open <br /> because of the race but they had an emergency number 1 could call for pick up of the dog. I did as she <br /> instructed and got the answering service who advised- me they would pick the dog upon Monday. I wasn't <br /> happy with this answsr so I called Ginger back and told her what they said and she said she would call and <br /> explain it had to be picked up, fihat was to long for a dead dog on the road let alone having all the traffic <br /> routed up Palani and all the visitors in town. Ginger called me back and said that she had gotten nowhere <br /> with the answering service, they told her to call the police! However, she called a Hawaii Island Humane <br /> Society board member who was appalled at the situation and said she would arrange for it to be taken care <br /> of, however, the body was still on the road late in the afternoon. So this tells me that even when a board <br /> member intervenes they still don't do their job. This organization obviously has a management problem as <br /> the answering service would not respond in this manner unless instructed to do so. This experience also tells <br /> me that all the negative things that I've been hearing about their lack of service is true! <br /> Laura Bollinger, - <br /> 25 year Kona resit <br /> Community volunteer for numerous non-profits <br /> Board member of several community and state organizations <br /> i <br /> . , <br /> mix 4 11 /20/0 <br /> _ <br /> <br />
