LT: All right all good...Leomana District 3 1 just wanted to close this up. Thank you very <br /> much. Hold on, okay... <br /> BL: Brian District 4 Thank you for your presentation and everything... Couple of other <br /> things, you said the fire wasn't a big issue, but according to your own thing... 2021 we <br /> had the Mauna fire and the Palila population decrease 21.8% and the following year it <br /> was a 38% decrease, so I think the smoke did have major concern that and the <br /> seedlings.... I'm up there all the time, when the sheep are ground... and keeping the <br /> grass... and the Mamane seedlings...I have pictures, sheep trails... Mamane saplings... <br /> and say like before the extreme excuses sheep go on the Mamane and also, if we open <br /> it up get the sheep in there to keep the fire load down, the vegetation that the Mamane <br /> trees would going to the grasses that are shallow rooted...sucking all the moisture out of <br /> the water...so if we get the sheep in there, we get the fire loads down, things down, the <br /> Mamane seeds can germinate on their own...inaudible...as far as the cats... with the <br /> fences ... told DLNR getting a pack of hound dogs, remove the feral cats... and look up <br /> Ben Lily he was early 1900's, he was with a pack of dogs and wiped out mountain lions <br /> in the log Western States, single handily, one man with a pack of dogs... wiping out <br /> mountain lions...he and two dogs did a more effective jobs than a thousand (1,000) <br /> traps and some fencing, anybody else for that matter... A year ago ... inaudible...one <br /> thing I had on the electric grid, did you guys take into effect that they have apps now <br /> that play bird songs? If you had that out there and you had some guy with this app <br /> playing Palila songs trying to get one to talk back to them, oh my god, this is a <br /> miraculous recovery, hearing birds all over the place. The lawsuit thing is old...the last <br /> nine (9) months our Judges are jumping up stopping Federal dictates on a whim... so 1 <br /> can't see why the State, the sheep aren't the problem, we're wasting money, we're <br /> wasting resources, fire is a bigger damage, we need to stop this... oh you know it's a <br /> federal mandate... We have lawsuits back in the days... saying Slavery was okay...now we <br /> can overturn things... you know this is getting old... Everybody here has been talking, I'm <br /> personally disgusted that the fences has ruined PTA, once you guys put these animals in <br /> live stocking conditions and then you throw your hands up and say look at the <br /> environmental damages, No...you turned them in to live stocking, denied them water <br /> and you cry about why we have these environmental damages... you know you can put <br /> water up there...you know, concrete and stuff... the sheep have water I know I'm on a <br /> rant and we're running out of time...but I just wanted to have my say... I see a lot of <br /> things that could be improved....and leave the sheep alone. <br /> BM: Unfortunately, the court case and things and we know the sheep does have an impact <br /> on the ecosystem...and we are not denying that... I think there are some level of harvest <br /> that, or there is some level of animals that can be allowed and you can have <br /> regeneration but we still don't really know what that is... but we do know from the <br /> history that sheep have a big impact on native ecosystem... in general and especially on <br /> the dry ecosystem take thirty (30)—forty (40) years for one tree to reach maturity. 1 <br /> 22 <br />
