June 18, 2024 - GMAC Minutes <br /> <br />LT: Thank you, any other questions from our Commissioners? No, we have – we have a comment <br />from one of our local trappers – who is, you know, mostly hired by Puna Community to trap out <br />there, you have 30 seconds. <br /> <br />AA: Abraham, District – 5, ah, was District – 5, Chair. Yeah, so, as to the Commission and to the <br />Chair – maybe you guys can vote for write a letter against HogStop again and maybe advise the <br />Mayor to not support this again, State does not support it – we talked to DOFAW many times <br />and the state does not support it – they don’t plan on using it – so what they said for the last <br />meetings \[unclear\] and as far as the Pig Brig, the trailer thing that Armadillo guys have – that’s <br />not new technology – that’s \[unclear\] you got ‘em right there. <br /> <br />KL: Great. <br /> <br />AA: It just goes to show that \[unclear\] thank you. <br /> <br />LT: Thank you, Chair… Ah, no more questions? <br /> <br />SW: One more, I’m sorry. I’m trying to write it out. <br /> <br />KL: I have a request for Corporate Counsel. I’m a little concerned because there was – what was <br />pretty obviously business disparagement happening previously – if somebody doesn’t <br />understand they don’t have the information that’s an issue that can be addressed through <br />education, but if the information is there and the false accusations are made, then that’s a <br />liability. <br /> <br />TL: Yeah, I just got one… <br /> <br />RD: Chair, could you write that concern in a letter to Corp Counsel on just what you… <br /> <br />SW: I’m sorry. Deputy Corporation Counsel, Sylvia Wan. I only advise the Board; I don’t advise <br />members of the public your concern is noted. <br /> <br />KL: OK. <br /> <br />SW: However, I only advise the board. <br /> <br />KL: I got it. Thank you. <br /> <br />LT: OK. We have one more question just for clarification. There’s no proof, no long-term studies of <br />affected meat consumption – how will distrust affect the use of the food source, you know, <br />Puna, one of their plans they got the slaughterhouse, they wanted to sell the meat, they <br />wanted to eat the meat. I think this goes towards what one of their plans are with eating the <br />meat and using the meat as a food source. <br /> <br />KL: So that’s predicated on a false statement because all the ingredients have been sold for animal <br />feed for decades, so it’s not like there’s no research on this – it is approved for animal feed. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />
