Thank you Hunt for posting about the group,
Advocats in Kona has been very successful with their TNR program. It was fantastic that Frannie started the TNR for East Hawaii, knowing it would not have the type of money and support that Kona has. Hui Pono Holoholona group has done a great job, has not been easy when there is so much negative out there.
For animal lovers who are trying to end this cycle of abandoned/throw away pets, is to just keep on doing what we are doing. Even though there is so much evidence showing that TNR works, it will never be enough to convince people, who think cats are a parasite and should be destroyed.
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME trying to change a closed mind on this subject, don't even bother trying. It is up to us to keep posting info: on the ongoing programs and not to get drawn into a no-win discussion, all that does is to continue to add fuel to the fire.
I do not belong to either group, but I support them in what they are trying to do.
There are many of of us in Hawaii, that work independently in critter rescues. Spay and neuter is essential.
