At request of The Nature Conservancy & Legislature, State & Kamehameha Schools continue to kill animals; Hawaiian Humane Society doesn't object

Hunters in the control hunt area can use dogs, bows and arrows, and knives. . .

The state Legislature, environmental groups and others want the DLNR to control feral pigs more aggressively. More pigs have come into residential neighborhoods in recent years as more homes have been built in forests.

. . .

Kamehameha Schools . . . sent in hunters armed with bows and arrows . . . The hunters carry .22-caliber handguns to finish off the pigs wounded by arrows.

. . .

The (Hawaiian) Humane Society does not have a position on the pig hunts . . .

The Humane Society of the United States might have a different view of this program.
