Subject: Support for Hawaii County Council Bill 260 &261
To Hawaii County Council,
I visited Hawaii for the first time this Spring and had a great experience and I plan on visiting
again. I have become friends with Colin Onaka and he was instumental in an excellent visit to
Hawaii. I went hunting and harvested a good sheep and goat it was a lot of fun and the meat was
good also.
Being a Biologist myself and learning about your Islands was very educational. Colin contacted
me about these bilss and asked my opinion and if I would relay that to you. I would have to say I
do support both of these Bills for many reasons. First and foremost eventhough the wildlife on
the Islands are all exotic (non-native) it should still have a value to the people. The necessity of
using a helicopter and airial shooting can be an effective management tool in specific situations
this does not sound like one of them. There is simply too much private land that contributes to
the population of non-natives. A good wildlife management plan starting with a Game
Management Advisory Commision sounds like a step in the right direction. There is many more
beneficial reasons to approve both of these bills but for the sake of brevity I ask that you pass
these Bills and start managing all the wildlife in a positive way that can be a value to all the
Islanders and those that vist.
Thank you, Joe Currie" ,-.`, -,
