You can't reform them.  They are ideologically opposed.  In 2013, Animal Haven, a no-kill animal control contractor, outbid them for the contract and would have taken Big Island no-kill.  Yet, surprisingly, after negotiations, and continuing to outbid and out perform them on two more offers, they were still given back the contract with a raise and less responsibility.  The problem is not how to go no-kill, but instead how to deal with corruption.
