Subject: Bill No. 301
I urge you all again to fax a letter - that states I Denise Towle do not support Bill No. 301, particularly
Section 4-19, Registration fees for Cats, Section 4-20. Issuance of Registration and tag for cats. Section
4-21 Proof of sterilization and micro-chip implanting. By using any form of collars, these animals
would not be able to hunt down rats successfully. Also any form of collars with or without tags will
jeopardize the safety of cats in their natural environment.They will get hooked up on just about
everything. If the pig hunters on record stated they take their dog collars off because of the terrain, then
it doesn't make sense to put cats in harms way since they are lower to the ground then the average dog,
and would get hung up much to easy in the lava rock, fern, and general overgrowth. Also, it was
necessary to own a cat to get after the rat overpopulation. I thought common sense, and people that truly
care about keeping animals safe and out of harms way, would see that cat collars are brutal for the type
of terrain this island is made up of Limiting people to only 4 pets per household is ridiculous, this is
still a free country!
