Owner of Team Hawaii Realty-
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 SHEL I ER RENT AND 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.
