People for animals. Animals for people.
115 years of animal protection 2012 marks the 115th anniversary of the Hawaiian Humane Society’s work as deputized officials in animal protection. On February 26, 1897, 26-year-old Helen Kinau Wilder was deputized as a special constable of the Marshal of the Republic of Hawaii. News of her appointment spread across the nation, capturing the hearts and imagination of Americans. A New York newspaper reported, “She is probably the only woman police officer in the world. She is wealthy, too, at that, the heiress of a vast Hawaiian estate, and prominent in Hawaiian society. Helen Wilder calls a spade a spade. She chooses to be called a
policeman, disclaiming her right to the title of “special officer.” “She wears a soft felt hat, on which glitters the silver star that shows that she is a policewoman,” according to an Iowa newspaper report. “She carries a revolver and is not afraid to use it. She has made several arrests unaided. Miss Wilder loves children and animals, and wherever she is, or whatever she may be doing, carries a pair of handcuffs, which she is quick to snap upon the wrists of the enemies of her small and lowly friends.” Continued on page 4

President’s Message Cats charm us like no other in the animal kingdom It’s with great humor that I recall attempting to adopt a cat from the Hawaiian Humane Society and was declined. I was told that I worked too much and wouldn’t be home enough with a cat. Later, the Society did find me fit enough to become the president and CEO.
Pamela Burns has served as the Hawaiian Humane Society President and CEO since 1990.
Cats have always been dear to my heart and to the hearts of more
than 100,000 (19% of households) families on Oahu who share their lives with them. In addition, so many of our friends, family and neighbors – 18% of households – are feeding cats that they don’t consider their own.
The plight of neighborhood cats is impossible to ignore. There are thousands of people who are
nobly caring for these felines and attempting to ensure a quality of life while reducing the number of cats humanely. When people trap, neuter, return and manage cats in colonies (TNRM), the population stabilizes and then decreases as cats live out their natural lives without reproducing. As a result, millions of unwanted kittens have been spared from life on the streets. TNRM relies on the ongoing dedication and compassion of Continued on page 2

caregivers who do far more than just feed cats. Those who use the Humane Society’s feral cat sterilization services agree to actively manage colonies, ensure veterinary care and help to place kittens in homes. Our mass spay and neuter events year-round continue to book out in record Cats are known as “long day time, with our most recent held breeders,” which means that in Nanakuli to sterilize 75 cats in female cats go into heat when West Oahu. the days become longer after
$10 cat sterilizations in June
The Society cares deeply about cats in our community. In the last five years, we have helped more than 12,000 feral cats at a cost of over $250,000 for needed sterilizations. This service is
the winter solstice. Hawaii’s southern latitude, which offers 12 hours of daylight year-round, means cats can go into heat anytime with births abounding in summer.
To reduce overpopulation and prevent so many felines from a life of suffering on the streets, the Humane Society is offering 150 cat sterilizations at $10 during June only. Call 356-2215 to book a surgery.
When love becomes an obsession With the numerous reality television shows showcasing the lives of people who are unable to part with their belongings, the medical condition
known as hoarding has become a familiar term. Some people also collect animals, keeping dozens or hundreds of pets often in sub-standard conditions. People who hoard are often not intentionally cruel. In their hearts, hoarders truly love their animals. Due to an obsessive/compulsive disorder, they cannot see that care or conditions are not meeting minimal standards. In addition, their obsession can result in acquiring more animals despite progressively deteriorating conditions.

In January 2012, 13 cats, found living in such conditions, were rescued and rehabilitated at the Humane Society. 2
The cats were rescued from a Waimanalo residents after many attempts to help the owners improve the quality of care, yet care was deteriorating and the animals were suffering. In March, the cats’ owner agreed to surrender all 13 cats to the Humane Society, not to take in any more cats, allow regular and ongoing welfare checks and have all of his remaining cats sterilized. Volunteers like Rachel Schutz have been coming in almost every day to work with these cats, who have shown remarkable progress. They’ve gone from being extremely fearful to inquisitive with volunteers and playing with each other. “Some days, when I’m trying to work with a specific cat, another will want all of the attention,” said volunteer Cindy Schoonover. “It’s such a joy to see them come out of their shells and assert their personalities.”

The club convenes on the last Saturday of each month at a different trailhead for its two- to three-mile trek.” Visit hawaiianhumane.org for information on the next hike. 3
Puppy mill sentence: All bark, no bite In February, an Oahu judge sentenced Bradley International to $370,000 in restitution to the Hawaiian Humane Society and $315,000 in fines. However, the corporation was dissolved after the forfeiture ruling in December 2011, which means the Humane Society will not benefit from the sentence in any way.
Charges were filed against both the puppy mill manager, who directly oversaw daily care of the animals, and the corporation that profited. The puppy mill manager fled Hawaii before he could be charged.
“We are very disappointed with the outcome of this trial. We feel as though the Lukes will continue to get away with it until something is done,” said Pamela Burns, Society president and CEO.
As long as people are uninformed about buying a puppy responsibly, puppy mills will continue to operate. We are not against puppy sales or breeding. We stand for responsible breeding, and responsible breeders would never sell through a pet shop because they want to create a direct relationship with buyers and invite inspections
On February 28, 2011, 153 dogs were found in neglected and filthy conditions, and were rescued from a commercial dog-breeding business in Waimanalo.
Lawmakers strengthen forfeiture law In the Waimanalo puppy mill case, the court awarded all of the animals to the Society under the forfeiture law. All these animals were adopted to caring families. This represents the first victory involving a case in which the forfeiture law was successful and resulted in animals being awarded to the Society prior to the outcome of a criminal trial. In April 2012, Governor Neil Abercrombie signed a bill in to law to further strengthen the forfeiture law by expanding provisions to include horses and unborn animals of pregnant mothers rescued. It will also allow a judge to award restitution of attorney fees for custody organizations that are caring for animals.

115 years of animal protection Continued from page 1 In 1900, there were 849 cases of animal mistreatment, which included 285 overworked horses and mules. In 2011, the Hawaiian Humane Society investigated 1,543 calls for service regarding cruelty and received more than 15,000 calls for help. At the turn of the century, women were the driving force of welfare. Wilder and her friends pooled their resources to hire Chang Apana as the Society’s officer to investigate animal crimes. Officer Apana was a paniolo who worked for Wilder on the Big Island. He also inspired author Earl der Biggers’ popular Charlie Chan series of detective novels.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. When a person dies, there is often a network of family, friends and professionals to help loved ones with the painful process of grieving. When a pet dies, those left behind are often alone with their grief.

Stay safe in the sun this summer The temperatures are rising and the days are getting longer – looks like it’s time for summer. As you throw on those rubbah slippahs and head out the door with your furry companion, keep these tips in mind: • Made in the Shade Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot. • Know the Warning Signs Some symptoms of overheating in
pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. • No Parking! Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Just a few minutes can be too long for a pet on a hot day. Call 911 if you see a dog trapped in a hot car and fear his life is in danger.
• Buckle Up City & County of Honolulu law requires that dogs and other animals in the back of pickup trucks must be transported in a carrier or cross-tethered from three points in the truck bed to prevent injury and accidents. State law also prohibits pets in your lap while driving. There are about 40 dogfriendly parks and more than 100 beaches on Oahu where dogs are welcome. To find a beach or park near you, visit hawaiianhumane.org.

Reunited, and it feels so good The Hawaiian Humane Society understands that losing a pet can be frightening, which is why – as Oahu’s official lost and found center – we help thousands of animals find their way home every year. A particular reunion story that stands out took place nearly 50 years ago, when Brenda Nakahara – then 12 years old – came face-to-face with the heartache of losing her pet. She had just gotten through bathing her two-year-old fox terrier named Snoopy, who managed to get away while she ran into the house to get something. Nakahara’s neighbors down the street told her that a dog had been injured after a car ran over its leash. They had called the Hawaiian Humane Society after the dog wouldn’t come out from under a car. Fearing that it was her pooch, Nakahara rushed down to the
Humane Society and was happily reunited with her Snoopy. “There’s nothing like being reunited with your pet,” said Nakahara. “If it hadn’t been for the Hawaiian Humane Society, who knows what would have happened?”
Since then, Nakahara says the Humane Society has always been a part of her life. If your pet becomes lost, be sure to immediately fill out a lost report. Also, ensure that your pet is microchipped.
Microchip Madness - July 2012 Every year, veterinarians from Waianae to Hawaii Kai offer microchipping of pets for a flat rate of $10 thanks to a partnership with Hawaiian Humane Society. From July 1 to 31, you can make an appointment at a clinic near you to microchip your furry friend.

4th of July tips keep pets safe As we celebrate America’s independence this year, don’t forget about Fido and Fluffy’s safety. The
bright lights and noise of fireworks may startle your pet. Keep your companion animals safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escapeproof area at home. Also ensure that your pet is microchipped and that all records are up to date. If your loved one does get loose, be sure to immediately fill out a lost report with the Society and attach a current photo of your 7
pet. Both lost and found reports may also be filed at hawaiianhumane.org. Also visit the shelter daily to check if your pet has arrived. In 2011, the Humane Society helped to reunite 3,225 pets with their owners. Getting lost is not the only danger your furry companion faces this Fourth. Remember, many foods that we deem tasty – such as onions, chocolate and avocado – are actually toxic to your four-legged friends, so resist the urge to feed your pet any table scraps.
Tuxes & Tails – Unleashed! sets new event record More than $515,000 was raised for the animals during March’s Tuxes & Tails – Unleashed! The March 17 event was held at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and included cocktails, a gourmet dinner, dancing and auction. The live auction was one of the evening’s highlights.

Honoring Ginger Girl
Cat Lover Gives Back
Many thanks to Reverend Larry Gardner for his donations and visits to the cat house. Rev. Gardner lost his beloved kitty Fluffy and has taken to coming to the Society to get his kitty fix.
A Special Mahalo
Mahalo to Manoa Grooming for providing some of our animals with a free makeover prior to adoption. Thank you to Dr. Matt Leara, DVM and Dr. Kristin Kunimoto, DVM at Animal Clinic of Honolulu for generously offering to meet our $150 in services for post-adoption demodex treatment at their clinic. Special thanks to Doug Allen and Edward Macey for their construction support.
A big mahalo goes out to Christine Kawada and Jack Parker, who made a generous donation in January in memory of their dog, Ginger Girl, who passed away a year ago at the age of 13.
Youth Teaching Youth
More than 40 youth and children from the Boys and Girls Club of Ewa Beach paid a visit to our shelter in March to celebrate the completion of CARE, our humane education curriculum. The older students studied our lessons last fall and then acted as teachers to the younger club members.
