June 18, 2024 - GMAC Minutes <br /> <br />RD: OK. Great. Do you have a business plan on your HogStop venture, like how much you’re going <br />to sell, where you’re gonna sell it – do you have a business plan on that? <br /> <br />KL: It’s not about the business… <br /> <br />RD: OK. <br /> <br />KL: The business is creating balance, so it’s creating all the profits – guess where they go? Land <br />conservation in Hawaii. <br /> <br />RD: Great. You say HogStop doesn’t – it’s EPA approved, is that true? <br /> <br />KL: Yeah, do you want to see that slide again? <br /> <br />RD: No, no. I’m just, yes, it is. <br /> <br />KL: It is classified – it is approved as a minimum risk pesticide. <br /> <br />RD: OK. Does the State of Hawaii have any requirements for HogStop to be approved? <br /> <br />KL: No, I did check with Department of Ag and if it is classified by the USEPA, if it meets their <br />qualifications, automatically the State of Hawaii accepts it. <br /> <br />RD: OK. Great. Thank you, that’s all. <br /> <br />LT: Thank you, District – 2, moving on to any other Commissioners have any questions for our <br />presenter online? <br /> <br />CO: I was wondering if there’s been third party testing on this and if we might have links to some of <br />the studies that may have been referenced or is there any other testing that’s been done that <br />can help demonstrate its efficacy – like the one you were saying about the eggs and those <br />things – if those are available studies that we can have access? <br /> <br />KL: I can ask Dr. Loper. He is in declining health, but I will reach out to them and see if there’s – if – <br />what kind of studies. You know, but I will reach out to them and see if there’s – if what kind of <br />studies - you can just, I, I mean, what they’ve sent me is you can just Google it, gossypol <br />studies, it’s been around for so long, it’s used internationally in animal feeds for more than 50 <br />years so there’s not a lot of mystery about this – it’s been – Mr. Kettle used 30 year old product <br />– so don’t use that – use the more recent stuff. <br /> <br />LT: OK. If there’s no more questions from our Commission… <br /> <br />BL: One more question, Brian Ley, District – 4. Has your non-profit group looked into a game <br />management and, more liberal gun rules and legalizing snares as far as controlling these <br />ungulates or we just \[unclear\]. You guys need to look into that option? <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />
