Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – November 8, 2017 <br /> <br />KS: Yes... Bringing animals into the area. <br /> <br />TL: That is my question, they are related, right? <br /> <br />KS: You’re asking... Bring animals in but use hunting to reduce their pressure on <br />the resource, is that possible? I think it’s possible – so now are we gonna <br />make special seasons to get hunters in there – are we gonna open up 24/7 <br />the way Dave was talking about to get hunters in there to push the animals <br />around more? Either way that’s a rules change and a rules change, I mean, <br />theoretically could be, you know, eight months but it hasn’t happened for us. <br /> <br />TL: Eight years you mean... <br /> <br />TN: They didn’t come from afar – so didn’t the crow come from afar cause they <br />were left – they did not evolve here – they were brought in here? So they <br />were... <br /> <br />KS: Every species of animal came here somehow but that species has evolved to <br />a point that they are only found here – that’s sub-species or whatever is only <br />found here so yes it is endemic. Historically, some ancestor of it did come <br />here from some other place. Every species of animal here came from some <br />other place... <br /> <br />TN: So you’re saying they evolved into their own species? <br /> <br />\[Discussion\] <br /> <br /> <br />KS: Evolution is a millions and millions of years process so those sheep, goats <br />and pigs – while adaptation could be have taken - and probably was taking <br />place – evolution – the time frame for evolution is not – those animals did not <br />evolve to something different – evolution is a millions of years process not a <br />hundreds of years or whatever, so, no, sorry. <br /> <br />DY: I want to thank you because this is one of the first indications I’ve seen about <br />moving from impact management out towards a more encompassing game <br />management so, my question is – what would be the next step that can move <br />us into that direction? <br /> <br />KS: Could you re-state that question – I don’t quite understand what you’re <br />asking? <br /> <br />DY: It seems like what Kanalu is doing at Puuwaawaa – moves us from this <br />impact management that Dave talked about – to a more while approach – to <br />wildlife – game management. <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
