5) Places prohibited to dogs. We need more dog friendly places for responsible dog owners. I am submitting a signed petition of tax payers that would like to see more dog friendly places. Kona is growing and it is time for higher license fees and decent fines for criminal actions. However, another important issues is the fact that there are many tax paying citizens in Kona and all of the Big Island that are Dog Lovers and are responsible for their companions... I have gone in front of the council for years to fight for more dog friendly places to take our dogs.. I have submitted petitions of 1000's of signatures and was able to get two parks opened to dogs on leashes and guess what. Those parks are cleaner now. The responsible dog owners keep their dogs on leash and pick up there messes and those of the non-responsible dog owners. I participate in educating people how to care and train their dogs. Currently there is a facility in Kona "Paws University" which has been a God send for the Kona community. They have doggie day care, boarding, training of dog and human... This facility is a much needed part of this community. I ask you, that in preparing this Bill, to consider and not punish the responsible dog owners and those that offer services as PAWS University. I hope that this Bill # 4 is written to protect the animals from harm, protect the facilities that offer services for the responsible dog owners and dogs, to protect the responsible dog owners and find justice for the not responsible dog owners... This current Bill seems very harsh on noise and needs to be reconsidered in the case of ag land. Thank you for submitting this my testimony.
