Aloha,
I'm writing to voice my strong opposition to
Resolution 250- 17.
RES 250- 17 authorizes Cyanotech to enter the
Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant to
perform animal control on so-called "predators,"
including cats (some of whom appear to be
abandoned pets), as well as mongoose and cattle
egrets.
The Doc-250 lethal traps used by Cyanotech's
hired exterminator are vicious and cruel, brutally
crushing the terrified animals to death . The
exterminator also plans to use air rifles to shoot
the egrets.
Killing pet species (e. g ., cats) is illegal animal
cruelty. according to both federal and Hawaii state
law.
Cyanotech claims it is "looking out for the birds"
at its proposed site. That may well be the case;
Comm NO. 3(62..?
Ref. To:
�4ae Dated o 7,
however, cruelly annihilating other animals--
particularly
nimals--
particularly domesticated creatures such as cats,
which can be trapped and removed by local
rescue groups such as AdvoCats and Catsn i p--is
an unacceptable and irrational proposition .
Please comply with our anti-cruelty laws, have a
heart, and record your vote against this
resolution .
Mahalo,
Cy Lee
