The butts that <br /> are being left on the beach are killing and making it hard for our animals <br /> to live there without being in danger. <br /> <br /> The community around it does not like it, I know I don't', I go there to <br /> go surfing. It makes me disgusted that there are cigarette butts everywhere. <br /> It is insulting to the people that live around there because they picked <br /> that place to live because they wanted to be right next to the beach <br /> and they don't like it if it is covered in trash and cigarette butts. It is <br /> disgusting to the people that go to the beach, like the tourists. They like <br /> <br /> this beach because it is an excellent place to see Hawaiian fish. They might <br /> not even want to go there if there is trash on the beach. It might tell them <br /> that they're not at the right beach because they will hear all this great stuff <br /> about the beach and then they go there and see a beach that has cigarette <br /> butts all over it. Then before you know it, one of the best tourist attractions <br /> becomes just some old beach that no one knows the name of. <br /> That is why I do not think there should be any smoking at Kahalu'u Beach. <br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> from, <br /> Sonny Hapgood <br />
