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. 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 also contributed another$17,000 to the ongoing operations. USE THAT CREDIT FOR THE SHELTER RENT AND KENNELS. 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. _w We call upon the County Council and HPD to stop this madness and do the right thing for the animals. w LSI Deane Kysar r` Hakalau, Hawaii Comm.
