Subject: Email Testimony Supporting Bill 260 and Bill 261
Dear County Council Chairman Dominic Yagong,
My name is Benny Manuel.
I live in Honolulu on the island of O'ahu.
I am a hunter and a concerned community member.
I am in support of Bill 260 and Bill 261.
I am against aerial animal eradication on the Big Island.
As well as throughout our State of Hawai'i.
I am in support of the creation of a Hunting Advisory Committee.
Aerial animal eradication is not a culturally appropriate activity.
It is an expensive and ineffective means of dealing with feral animal populations
and results in the virtual slaughter of animals that are in many instances
left to rot.
Considering that hunting for people like myself and countless others
is an activity that we engage in to bring food to our tables, to feed our families
and that hunting is not purely just a "recreational" activity or a leisurely thing.
Hunting in this regard contributes in a big way to working toward the goal

of increased food self-sufficiency on the Big Island and throughout the State of Hawai'i.
I am submitting my written testimony with the hopes that it will be considered
seriously and that Bill 260 and Bill 261 gets passed.
Respectfully yours,
Benny Manuel
