OPPOSE BILL 51
Do the right thing. This bill is not the solution to this issue. I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 51.
I urge you to address the core issues contributing to the animal population concerns rather than implementing measures
like Bill 51. What the county truly needs are comprehensive policies and laws that effectively control the animal
population through spay/neuter programs, public education, and enforceable requirements for responsible pet
ownership.
Furthermore, it is crucial that we fund programs modeled after successful municipalities that have achieved zero levels of
stray and unwanted animals. Simply banning support for people and animals who are victims of irresponsible humans is
not a sustainable solution.
Please take actions that will solve our animal population problem long-term, instead of creating temporary litigation that
causes suffering and perpetuates the ongoing crisis in the County of Hawaii.
