I am a resident on the Big Island of Hawaii and I am writing to voice my opinion on Bill 112. I
am lin strong opposition of this bill. It is unfair and unjust to target citizens who raise fowl.
Despite flaunting her agricultural degrees on a social media platform, Councilwoman O'Hara
is ignorant on the issues that surround raising fowl. If she truly wants to be a champion of the
people then she needs to actually LISTEN to them, ALL of them, not just those with lighter
skin and fat wallets. She needs to look at the big picture and see that this bill will hurt more
people than help.
This bill will not only hurt the people of Puna, but constituents island wide. You will literally
be bankrupting entire families who greatly depend on raising fowl.
I oppose Bill 112. 1 will be paying close attention to the vote on this bill. MY vote at
upcoming elections will be against anyone that votes in favor of this bill. I will be encouraging
like-minded friends and family members island wide to do the same.
Thank you for your time,
Kathleen Botelho
