To Council Members,
I am strongly opposed to Resolution 250-17. it is difficult for me to believe these traps are
used on any living being, let alone abandoned pets. (As if their lives have not been traumatized
enough.) The traps are barbaric. Also, to kill a pet animal inhumanely is animal cruelty
according to federal and state law. I am opposed to using Doc-250 on any living creature.
Sincerely,
Jahnava Baldassarre

RES 250-17 allows Cyanotech entry to the Kealakehe waste water plant to do animal control
on "PREDATORS." These predators are CATS, some appear to be abandoned PETS (as stated
by Cyantech hired exterminator). Additionally, MONGOOSE and cattle EGRETS are targets
for extermination. The lethal traps, Doc-250 works like a giant rat trap and crushes the
animal's head and/or shoulders to death. A precharged neumatic gun which shoots 30-40
rounds will be used on the egrets. The egrets are "SUSPECTED" to be equally responsible for
the depredation of the nests coots and stilts.
Comm. No. 3821 l
Ref. To: PI COLA-
Ref. Dote SEP 0 7 2017
To kill a pet species animal inhumanely is animal cruelty according to federal and state
law.
Cyanitech Hawaii produces microalgae and spirulina yet allows cats, mongoose and egrets to
suffer a horrible death. BOYCOTT CYANOTECH PRODUCTS.
