Subject: HRR Contract
Aloha,
While I am using the form letter below to strongly protest the risk tonnocent
animals due to the loss of the contract with HRR. Without doubt this puts the
animals at risk of death due to lack of proper notice and hand over procedures.
This is shameful and each and everyone of you needs to stand up and do
something to halt this NOW while other measures are considered. I am sure
many of you have pets, just think if this was the fate for one of yours! Let's see
how many of you can stand up and be counted ?
Dear (Council Members-all),
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
KENNELS. I

Ref. Date JUL - 6 2021
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.
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.
Sincerely
Pamela Lake
