Subject: Hawaii Rainbow Rangers contract
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.
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.
Mahalo and Aloha,
