Page 2 family. You see your neighbors almost everyday, but do you see your family? Most people try to work things out with their neighbors unless they come from the Mainland cities where your neighbors aren't considered important. This would kill the "aloha spirit", and make people more hostile towazd each other. I realize that there may be people out there that aze afraid to approach their neighbors because of possible drug problems, however not everyone lives next to a drug dealer, and by the law requiring people to complain to the police first would only make matters worse. If you do indeed live next to a drug dealer, and are required to call the police or humane society first, would this not anger your neighbor and cause more animosities? These amendments must be thought through very cazefully before making them the law of the land. Section 4-32-1 deals with who will be enforcing these laws. Making enforcement officers out of the humane society's prese;nt staff is a big concern. Many of these people have no law enforcement backgrounds. This needs a lot of research and study before it is implemented. I urge you NOT to pass Bill 4, Draft 5 without getting input from dog clubs, hunting clubs, obedience clubs, and dog lovers in general. Preserving the rural lifestyle and our kamaaina ways is imperative to the quality of life on our island for our generation and futwe generations. We do not want this County to turn into a satellite city of a Mainland community. That would be horrible. Please preserve our way of life and what is left of it. Mahalo nui loa!!
