The not-for Profit that Fran oversees is VERY active in the trap spay/neuter and release... Pets on this island that are not spayed or neutered are a big portion of the overpopulation problem on this island...if you know of any animal that has not been fixed & is ever out away from the owner... that animal is most likely a breeding problem.....
a HUGE part of the problem at the dump is the amount of people that dump their animals at the dump. This group has also actively trapped & arranged for the removal of many other animals... IF people to RESPONSIBILITY for their animals, then I would be totally against feeding at the dump... but that ain't gonna happen!
Other than banning all animals from irresponsible owners (yah, like that would ever happen) There will always be a problem with stray/feral animals at the dump & on Shipman land... I have no idea what Kimo Lee will do when those stray/ferals are still being dumped, and there is no attempt being made to trap, fix & taken care of a portion of the animals....but can be sure that the impact on the Shipman lands will not end until there are no stray/feral animals dumped on their land...which I doubt will happen in my lifetime...
