Common sense and any knowledge about cats should serve as reason enough not to support this bill. <br /> The HIHS is already making strides at microchipping cats. Also, owner's can obtain numbered tags if <br /> desired. This proposed registration with tags is redundant. <br /> <br /> Cats and collars have always been a problem with regard to the animal's safety and the losing of the collars (and <br /> tags.) <br /> Many county residents and businesses are supporting the ongoing and growing Trap/Neuter/Return program as <br /> the best workable and acceptable way to deal with abandoned cats and their offspring. This bill is contrary to the <br /> TNR program that the County Council has supported in the past. <br /> Implementation and subsequent enforcement of this proposed cat registration is totally unrealistic and fiscally <br /> unsound. <br /> <br /> However, I would support a requirement that animals to be reclaimed from the HIHS be microchipped at their <br /> owner's expense. <br /> Thank you for your attention and consideration. <br /> <br /> Nancy Matthews <br /> 73-1530 Uanani Place <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm.
