We live on an island where it is very hard to bring a animal on island.  It should be very simple for this island to take control of the dog and cat population.  Spay and neuter clinics need to go to the communities, not have HIHS sit and wait for people to bring their animals to them.  The Ka'u District has virtually no services from HIHS.  Recently 91 animals were taken from a home in Ocean View and I know there are many more like that.  I know of people who have reported lots with many animals left unattended, but got no response from HIHS.  We can do this, but the attitude has to change.  Killing is not the answer.  Holding everyone accountable is, including HIHS.  More money needs to be spent on spay and neuter clinics, island wide.  Less money needs to be spent on fund raising.  Throwing more money at anything does not fix the problem.  Attitudes need to change in the HIHS organization.
