To Stacy Higa and all other County Council Members,
Regarding the upcoming hearing at the Council on May 16th reg'a'rding the changes
in the animal control laws;
As a long time member of advoCATS, Inc. I am against the new proposed ruling that
cats should have to wear collars. Cats are frequently crawling and jumping through
dense plant growth and can get caught up and strangle themselves.
I am also against the fact that cats from feral cat colonies may be subject to
penalties or boarding fees if it gets turned in to the humane society. People on
occasion will pick up one of the cats and turn it in not realizing it belongs to an
established colony, or that it has been spayed, neutered and fed by advoCATS
members.
The service that both advoCATS, Inc. and West Hawaii Humane Society do in spaying
and neutering these cats is a contribution to the community. This is an all volunteer
program and we should not be subject to any penalties. We are trying to take care of
a problem caused by our residents who are irresponsible and lack the courage to
take unwanted pets to the humane society.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely,
~ti
