RE: Bill No. 38, Operating Budget
Hawaii Island Humane Society
This is to inform you of the following proposed condition that I am submitting in regards to the
above-referenced Bill. The condition would state:
"Payments to the contractor from the appropriation set forth in Account
No.010-239-5239.01 shall be made if and only if the contractor submits
a written statement that pig hunters and bird hunters who seek adoption
of dogs from contractor will be allowed to adopt impounded and sheltered
dogs. The adoption policy of the contractor shall not discriminate against
hunters in favor of the general public. Contractor's failure to abide by the
terms of this written statement may constitute a breach of contract, and the
County may proceed to cancel the contract, and/or may be entitled to any
other remedy entitled by law."
I have attached a copy of a letter from Grayson Hashida of the Hawaii Island Humane Society
informing the board has decided to conduct a one year trial period allowing hunters to adopt
animals. Thank you for your kind attention on this matter.
