Subject: URGENT HELP NEED on Big Island
Please find the pre-written letter on this issue. My plea is, if they have over 100
animals to move or kill today, we as guardians of the land, and creatures of this
Earth, we MUST intervene. For the love of God, I implore you to save=$ig~
Island's Pets. Please help.
Dear Chief Ferriera, et all
To terminate the Animal Control Contract with HRR is one thing, but to
confiscate all the shelters from HRR because they used County funding to pay
the rent DISPLACES HUNDREDS OF VULNERABLE ANIMALS.
To euthanize the animals who have no place to go is inhumane, unethical,
immoral and unacceptable.
A reasonable time must be given to allow placement of the animals, at least 30
days.
Mary Rose Krigjsman, President of HRR and Rainbow Friends Animal
Sanctuary, took this contract in good faith and
contributed over $90,000 to start HRR animal control services. They were
receiving 54% funding that the previous vendor received. That is not
fair. And Mary Rose Krijgsman also contributed another $17,000 to the
ongoing operations. USE THAT CREDIT FOR THE SHELTER RENT AND
11 KENNELS.
HRR was notified of the contract award on July 27, 2020, with the start of
services on Aug 1, 2020--four days notice.
Now HPD is giving them less than three days to move hundreds of animals or
they will be disposed of.
This is unreasonable and unacceptable. I

Your name and your organization's name if you have one. Email
immediately. June 30th, 5pm HPD takes over.
We call upon the County Council to stop this madness and do the right thing for
the animals.
