Page I oC I <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> From: Agrerobbie@aol.com <br /> Sent: Tuesday, January 24. 2006 10:31 AM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi us <br /> Subject: Bill No 4, Draft 6 -Animal Control Ordinance <br /> <br /> As Vice-President of Advocats I would like you to make the following changes to impending legislation regarding <br /> animal control on the island: <br /> Section 4-22, article 4 mandates a 48 hour holding period for impounded stray dogs, but mentions nothing <br /> about cats. Currently the holding period for cats is 24 hours. It usuaNy takes at least 24 hours for an owner or an <br /> <br /> owner/feeder to notice if a cat is missing. Please change this section to mandate a 48 hour holding period for <br /> <br /> cats as well as dogs. <br /> HIHS is proposing to raise the $10 redemption fee to $25 per animal. This is an unnecessary hardship for <br /> <br /> Advocat ownerlfeeders as we already pay $50-60 per cat to have them trapped, neutered and returned to their <br /> <br /> colonies. We feel we are acting in the best interest of the humane society and the island in general by keeping <br /> <br /> the feral cat population under control and would like you to exempt Advocats (ear tipped, spayed or neutered <br /> <br /> cats) from this onerous burden altogether or at least maintain the $10 fee. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Roberta Agre <br /> 75-660 Hualalai Rd. <br /> Kailua-Kona, HI 96750 <br /> 808-329-3020 <br /> Corpm.
