Mailes, the system on-island works much better if you get names (of the dispatcher, police officers, Humane Society workers- anyone you have talked to & seen) AND REPORT - back to their bosses AND to the media.... EVEN this forum is watched by many of the officials.... if you need media contacts, email me...
DanielP - The problem with moving is you will NEVER know for sure who will move in right after you move....and that pins the solution to always moving away from a problem...NOT IN ENFORCING THE LAWS...
And when do you move??? Before the attack???? probably not....although sometimes these things are a part of an escalation, if a dog attacks, that DOG & OWNER should be dealt with immediately....
If a dog (and owner) are allowed to attack, they will think nothing of it... & the cycle may continue with the next owner/renter of the place you move from...
Some of you may remember the attack in Leilani where Luna & her owner were attacked and injured (both needing stitches...and still shaken & not as trusting) The police were as non-committal in that incidence as in this recent event...http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13996
I would say that it is well past time to cure our police of their lassie faire attitude....IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR.... what are the candidates attitudes? CALL THEM & POLICE CHIEF HARRY KUBOJIRI... ASK THEM WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS....& CONTACT THE MEDIA...believe it or not, they can be a great lever for social justice....
IF each of us contacts them, I am sure that their will be some official discussions.... if you read this & do not, your voice is not heard (and you are agreeing that this should & can happen again & again....that is how the system works....
