I do agree with coppercoin40 about the nail stick. It was disturbing for me to hear that comment from my vet! This issue has been going on for years, it is getting worse because of the population growth and the need to own dogs for protection. The problem, people refusing to take seriously the responsibility of properly confining the dogs on their property.
From reading the comments here, it is obvious we are on our own and to think how to handle this when it happens again!
Wayne's article has good information in it,

Another issue, The Hawaii Island Humane Society for the entire Island is based in Kona, the board meetings are held in Kona. Can't remember the last time they had a meeting this side to discuss any ongoing animal concerns we are having.
I believe years ago, they were two separate entities, I wish we could go back to that, then maybe we would see more action and stronger enforcement! Complain to Donna Whitaker in Kona, as we don't know how Keaau shelter is documenting and passing on the number of complaints they are receiving!
