<br /> they cannot get any peace and quiet even in their own bedrooms. There must be legal <br /> <br /> remedy for this level of disturbance, other than an expensive civil lawsuit. <br /> I have no idea of the "reasoning" or "logic" of why people think they need pit <br /> bulls and other dogs tied up around their houses, but is this society going to tolerate <br /> <br /> this as "humane" treatment of dogs? Is Hawaii County going to set specific minimum <br /> standazds for how dogs aze caged or tied or kept? This is the crux of the problem, and <br /> I really think that if the Council does nothing else, your determination of minimum <br /> <br /> standards for keeping dogs will solve many of the most serious social problems <br /> involving animals here. If I wanted to keep a Bengal tiger in my backyard, you <br /> would have a few comments and standazds I would think. Some of these ded dogs <br /> are no less dangerous and no less noisy and disturbing. <br /> Cultural diversity and idiosyncrasies might be tolerated up to the point where the <br /> behavior is seriously at odds with the prevailing customs or laws of the host society, <br /> or up to the point where the public welfare, health and safety is compromised. The <br /> way that some people keep dogs here crosses both these lines. If the offender lives <br /> out on rural property, then only the aspect of inhumane treatment needs to be <br /> addressed, but in our urban and suburban neighborhoods where people are at much <br /> closer quarters, definite and specific guidelines, spelled out and enforced, are needed. <br /> As these neighborhoods build up and fill in, the matter becomes urgent, and the <br /> Council's responsibility becomes crystal cleaz. <br /> Best Wishes, <br /> <br />
