BL: But the main ingredient is cotton seed oil. <br /> <br />AK: Has anybody studied this? <br /> <br />?: \[Unclear\] <br /> <br />AK: Who has studied it? To make a determination that it does or doesn’t work and it impacts other <br />animals? <br /> <br />BL: Brian, District – 4. You know, they did the studies but like the feasibility like we were talking <br />earlier, you know, these pigs live eight to ten years. You have to constantly feed the pigs for the <br />duration of their lives and it only works for the pigs that are eating it so when a sow comes in to <br />heat – all the pigs - is a pig knocking down a fence or coming in and we’ve got all the sows <br />impregnated again, you know, it sounds good on paper but in the reality of the situation it’s – <br />we don’t want the pigs and it’s setting up a feeding station and trapping the pigs in a certain <br />area and feeding them until they die of old age is just not really feasible. <br /> <br />AK: Hopefully, they get trapped to make \[unclear\] dinner before then. Um, is there… <br /> <br />BL: \[Unclear\] why would you be doing that for our people that are eating \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />AK: That’s why I’m asking – was there a study that was done with the feral pig population and <br />cotton seed \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />RD: Ah, Duerr, District – 1. HogStop was developed in Texas by a PhD who was involved in the dairy <br />feed market. And so it’s basically a son and a father who developed it. Good question on – if <br />there are studies on it. <br /> <br />BL: \[Unclear\] <br /> <br />LT: I had a question, is there any legislation around the GMAC or any legislation about banning the <br />public feeding of pigs, especially around the highways and the roads like in Komohana and <br />Mohouli, you know, the intersection? <br /> <br />AK: Well, I see that auntie feeding those pigs there. A number \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />LT: Sorry, I \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />SM: \[Unclear\] thank you so much for allowing that – Shannon Matson – legislative assistant – Council <br />District 2… <br /> <br />SW: Sorry, just clarification – are you speaking in your personal capacity or in your legislative <br />assistant capacity? <br /> <br />SM: Ah, I’m going to speak in the legislative assistant capacity. <br /> <br />SW: Thank you. <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
