Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2013 Chair Sylvester: We could do something like that for the County. T. Lodge: But also, with Mark, I remember some Hawaiians some years ago introduced an anti-snaring bill and a wanton waste bill – both – and both of those failed at that time. And the snaring bill actually ran into a lot of snags – not just because they wanted to stop snaring on State land, but there’s a lot of private people that testified against us as well because if the law honors – that we’re going on to private land – and trapping pigs for people, you know, in their neighborhoods and things like this – then they usually end up selling the meat. But, the wanton waste thing is something that, we have a bill, we should just reintroduce this and have the Game Management Commission and other people get behind it this time and, you know, with the Mayor’s voice, that might be helpful. M. Bartell: So is that a motion? Group: [Laughter] ?: [Unclear] we have a bill, we’ve already submitted a bill on wanton waste once before… ?: Yeah… ?: ….with pig hunters. ?: ….no, I got it, I think we should… ?: We have that bill. M. Bartell: I think we should reintroduce it. We got to figure out why it failed and make changes and then see if we can reintroduce it. Chair Sylvester: OK. We have one more comment and then let’s figure out what kind of motion we can make to do something with this so we can move on. S. Araujo: Good evening Commissioners. I am Steven Aranjo [sp?] ?: [Unclear] 33
