Pig Hunters of Hawaii supports your proposal. <br /> As you know, this has been an ongoing issue for well over a year. We <br /> remain incredulous that an organization such as the Humane Society would <br /> continue to promote a policy that "in order to prevent an~possibility of <br /> injury to an animal, it is best to kill it". Yet this is precisely the policy in <br /> effect. <br /> We have no problem with the many fine people who work for the Humane <br /> Society. They have been most helpful in re-uniting our members with lost <br /> dogs. We hope your proposal will be adopted by the Council, and that the <br /> management of the Humane Society will reevaluate its bizarre operating <br /> practices. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Richard Hoeflin <br /> cc: Harry Kim, Mayor comm.
