My message to the Committee:
Aloha Chair Wille and AWES Committee Members,
I support Bill 24 regulating business that capture and sell Hawaii's
reef wildlife to the mainland pet trade. The well-being of wildlife
should not be sacrificed for company profit.
Mahalo for the opportunity!
Aloha
I agree with the above statement. 1 remember back on the day sitting
on the beach and to waves were yellow due to the abundance of yellow
tang. This can not be seen anymore. Taking reef fish for the aquarium
trade is an unethical practice since it's merely serving a hobby, not
feeding anyone. It needs to stopn l I want to see yellow waves again.
Mahalo
