not knowing if this product is in this pig that I eat – please if you could keep us updated on drafting legislation to ban this product in the entire state of Hawaii. Thank you. GD: Donev – District 9. Thank you, Dawnelle – we will read the draft letter we currently have in the motion before the discussion on potential legislation – so we’ve already taken that step and, of course, we’ll keep everyone updated with the next steps after that, so, if anyone has time from the public to stick around, you might want to hear what’s in this letter and… DF: Thank you so much. Thank you… AA: Thanks, George… Anybody else from Zoom? B. Medeiros… Bobbylyn Medeiros: A’ole to Hog Stop. Alvin Chong: Aloha, Alvin Chong from Waimea Big Island against Hog Stop, please. Keep everything wild. AA: Thank you. Anybody else on Zoom. OK, last call… Ah, Hilo office any people from the public? State your name. Charles Kaleo IV: thth Hi, my names is Charles Kaleo the IV. 4 generation kanaka. My son is the 5, my grandson is th the 6, ah, this Hog Stop, you going put ‘em in feeders \[unclear\] they going fall on the ground. Everything going eat ‘em – no matter what. And what they going do with all the residue from ‘em – it going into our aquifer, into our river, \[unclear\] our prawns, our crayfish, our opae, the \[unclear\] and then into the ocean.

A’ole Hog Stop for me but I know that we’re at a Game Management Commission right now and I think we can come up with ways to trump these guys if we just come up with one Game Management Plan – right? And that is everybody gets together and, try, and maybe do some kind of tagging system where we – you know, three different tags – yeah – sow, male, ah, males, boys and lauhole, you know, this is where we can start trying to control it if we put our heads together and try and go out there and take a count. That way we can come and trump these guys that want to try do something without any studies so the idea is to come up with solutions and I think that would be the first step and everybody get into groups like how we got the Pig Hunters Association in Honolulu, you know, we should have one on every island, but, you know, we get guys going out there and not just raping ‘em and shooting small or, you know, we all got to come to an agreement what size should be taken but also tag ‘em, cut the ears, cut the balls, do 7
