Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 25, 2019 MC: I totally agree with what you’re saying, cause trust me – I’m a small little peanut out there – there’s not ways I could handle taking care this whole state. SM: No, I not dumping on your parade but, you know, it’s just for us as one game management commission we want see for the public? MC: Right. That’s what I hope I can actually help in – cause don’t get me wrong – my company would be great to be utilized around county and state facilities, around this, I mean – civilization we should say. But for the mountain and places like that we should actually utilize the animals up there – why eradicate ‘em when we can utilize them and like how you mentioned everything works hand in hand – cause if you utilize the animals correct up there – they’re gonna be part of a conservation act but yet, you know when they start breeding they multiply like crazy and this actually opens it up for the hunters to do their gatherings and, you know... ....get all their meat and stuff like that. So it’s well rounded – it’s not only for conservationing – it’s actually for the hunters cause, of course, animals keep on populating. You have to keep the right amount of animals and the whole thing too it’s so sensitive – say this year we can actually keep 1,000 head – I’m just throwing a number out there for everybody – so saying this year we can keep 1,000 head in this area – they’re working good, population comes up – now we’re at 1,600 – I just throwing out numbers – 1,600 – you start bringing that numbers back down to 1,000 – now next year goes on – we’re in a massive drought – now we got to pay attention to all of this too cause now this drought we might actually even have to drop down the numbers little bit more – and then the following year you let me – you go according to... SM: That’s management. MC: Yes, yes. JO: That is called game management, yes... MC: I hope I got to answer your question with that one cause I’m not trying to get everything out there. I really want to see the feral animals doing the job – they were over here for hundreds of years and one thing all us humans have to remember – we are getting lazy nowadays – from the beginning of time – animals always did our jobs for us. Without machines – diesel motors, gas motors – hey, luxury – no – let’s go back- take it back a little. Let’s start utilizing our animals. They do the same job as a lawn mower. I actually wish I could show you guys a video that I have on one of the projects I’m doing – they had a great big D-6 knocking down grass – the end result was the same thing as my animals. How much pollution did they do? How much pollution did 15
