<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: Decaf deepa [deepa@konajoe.com] <br /> -Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 4:32 PM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Opposing Bill 301 Cat Registration, Article 4. Section 4-19 <br /> 1 deepa Alban do not support Bill No. 301, particularly Section 4-19, <br /> Registration fees for Cats, Section 4-20. Issuance of Registration and tag <br /> for cats. Section 4-21 Proof of sterilization and micro-chip implanting. <br /> By using any form of collars, these animals would not be able to hunt down <br /> rats successfully. Also any form of collars with or without tags will <br /> jeopardize the safety of cats in their natural environment. They will get <br /> hooked up on just about everything. If the pig hunters on record stated they <br /> take their dog collars off because of the terrain, then it doesn't make <br /> sense to put cats in harms way since they are lower to the ground then the <br /> average dog, and would get hung up much to easy in the lava rock, fern, and <br /> general overgrowth. Also, it was necessary to own a cat to get after the rat ( <br /> overpopulation. I thought common sense, and people that truly care about <br /> keeping animals safe and out of harms way, would see that cat collars are = r <br /> brutal for the type of terrain this island is made up of. Limiting people <br /> to only 4 pets per household is ridiculous, this is still a free country. <br /> Thank you <br /> deepa <br /> Co <br /> r. r1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
