Subject: Stop this madness
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. I suggest that potentially
include all of you responsible to have restraining orders filed 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.
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 am new to our community and find these actions boarding criminal. Our
family is just learning of this. Every animal brought to this island has been cleared to be here. I myself have spent
thousands and do not support this behavior.
I am call upon the County Council to stop this madness and do the right thing for the animals. .-
Kind regards =w
