Subject: Vote No Bill 51
While I share the deep concern for protecting native species, Bill 51 is not the way to move forward.
All Bill 51 does is criminalize and ostracize animal lovers who are currently feeding feral populations.
What we need instead:
• a place for non-neutered/spayed cats & dogs to stay while awaiting sterilization
• more free & low cost programs for feral population sterilization
• an incentive program to encourage 'rounding up' the unaltered dogs and cats on the island

Yes, we need to prioritize reducing the feral animal population but Bill 51 is not the next step.
