One point of the joke is that the haole point of view is not the king of the hill. If you notice the police in the joke aren't for a second shaking their heads at the immorality of the actual fighting. What interest they have in stopping it, which is minor, is directed at the organized crime and illegal gambling component, not the animal cruelty.
It was only recently that they passed an ordinance here making the penalty for wantonly killing an animal more than a joke. Or to outlaw selling domestic animal flesh as food. Do I like it? No! But ranting about eradication is either empty or scary.
Seriously, Dick, are you going to become a mass murderer or what?
Because that's what it sounds like, vigilante threats.
The last thing this place needs, with so much suspicion of newcomers, is for newcomers to have a rep for being gun-toting vigilantes out to shoot people for doing stuff that's been going on for generations. That doesn't do much for those of us who are trying to make friends.
