Issuance of Registration and tag for cats. Section 4-21 Proof of <br /> sterilization and micro-chip implanting. By using any form of collars, these animals would not <br /> be able to hunt down 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 hooked up on just about <br /> everything. If the pig hunters on record stated they take their dog collars off because of the <br /> terrain, then it doesn't make sense to put cats in harms way since they are lower to the ground <br /> then the average dog, and would get hung up much to easy in the lava rock, fern, and general <br /> overgrowth. Also, it was necessary to own a cat to get after the rat overpopulation. I thought <br /> common sense, and people that truly care about keeping animals safe and out of harms way, <br /> would see that cat collars are brutal for the type of terrain this island is made up of. Limiting <br /> people to only 4 pets per household is ridiculous, this is still a free country. <br /> Please use the carefully researched and studied guidelines of the American Humane Society. <br /> We must be responsible for these campanions and the ferals we have neglected. -This is <br /> thoughtless legislation. <br /> <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Linda and Larry Martz <br /> Papa Bay <br /> <br /> <br /> Netscape.
