Page 2 n~~2 <br /> microchip. <br /> <br /> 6. Trapping. Although this item is not addressed in the proposed changes to legislation, our <br /> County Council should be made aware of the fact that the HIHS lends traps to the public to <br /> <br /> trap "nuisance" cats. The problem with this is that they do not include any humane <br /> instructions on how to trap cats. We have witnessed trapped animals left in the hot sun for <br /> days at a time. People have brought cats into the shelter in traps without any cover over the <br /> trap, traumatizing an already traumatized animal. Asa result, the public is unwittingly <br /> trapping other peoples' pets, and frequently these pets are euthanized before the owner even <br /> realizes their pet is missing. This is again another strong mandate to require a 48 hour <br /> holding period for all cats brought into the shelter. This is a good opportunity to educate our <br /> Councilmembers about this issue <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Judy Sweatland <br /> 88-1651 Moana Drive <br /> Captain Cook, HI 96704 <br /> 1 /23/2006 <br /> <br />
