TO: Chair Higa and County Council Members,
I, Frances Pueo opposed Bill 301, all of it
and particularly the part of mandating cat license fee's and collars/tags. It puts cats in
jeopardy, as the collar and license dangling tag will cause the animal to become entangled in the
multi-various types of terrain on the Big Island. Plus, cats will try to get the collar off, which
usually results in getting twisted around their neck and body. How can you justify putting cats
in such jeopardy? Particularly, when the pig hunters have given testimony that they remove their
dog collars because the dog will get hung up in our island forest or by the pigs tusk. Its been
well discussed in previous presentations, so it doesn't make sense to mandate a collar/tag for a
cat when they too will become hung up.
In studies, by the San Francisco SPCA-1995, has spoken out against mandatory cat
licensing. Please review the petition submitted with this letter. In January, it was rumored that a
cat license might be imposed in the animal control ordinance and we started a petition, then we
were told it would not be in, so we stopped circulating the petition. Incredulously, it's been put
in and we are going to restart our petition again, and letting people know who is
responsible for this!
People could not fathom any sense or reasoning for mandating cat license. The general
consensus and comments was that it was ludicrous and inhumane to implement cat collar license.
Like it or not, the cat is the only real rat deterrent in keeping the mice and
rat's from becoming an even more economic disaster.
And please remember that rats build up immunity against poisons, and when our birds of
prey eat the poison rats, it weakens or kills the bird population.
If you all would really listen to the average person on this island, you would hear the
numerous stories of the destruction the rats have done to their homes, appliances, cars, and crops.
The average person was shocked when we let it be known that a mandated cat license might be
implemented. And how can the cat hunt down the rat effectively with a collar and tag? The rat
would hear them coming. Are we going to repeat history when the rat infestation was so bad
that the county declared a rat bounty back circa 1930's?? Also, most do not have the additional
monies for another bureaucratic exportation/excuse for obtaining money from their pockets.
Wse and attacking dogs should be the focus of the animal control bill, not cats! Again, the
only and humane solution for dog/cat overpopulation is making available no cost or truly
affordable discounted coupons for animal sterilization and concentrating on hiring a full time
veterinarian for our humane society.

PETITION
TO: THE COUNTY COUNCIL, HILO, HAWAII
WE, the undersigned residents of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, hereby declare
that we are Against Mandatory Cat Licensing. The proposal for cats to be licensed is
ludicrous. It seems the anti-cat extremist did so without fore thought of all the negative
ramifications in doing so. 1. It puts cats in jeopardy as the collar and dangling - tags
(license) will cause the animal to become entangled (causing serious injury or death) in
the multi-various types of terrain on the Big Island. 1. It does not make cat owners more
responsible. 2. It will not help raise the status of cats. 3. It will not result in more cats
being redeemed at shelters. 4. It will not reduce shelter killings. 5. It will not pay for
itself. 6. It will not raise money to help fund animals agencies. More so, it will increase
additional cost, which will have to be paid for by taxpayers, or cuts in other services.
7. Mandatory Cat Licensing, inappropriately expands the power and reach of
government bureaucracies and enforcement agencies.
