I was on the fence about them and I was going to wait and see if I received any complaints. By the way, what is your name, RT?

And in my opinion, disrespectful to the victims and their families. I would feel terrible if I had a family member on this helicopter and then came across your story with a photo of (possibly) one of thier bones.

By posting that image, you make it the last visual memory of the victims.

I recommend/request you remove it, out of respect for the victims and their family members. Please consider.

Thanks & Aloha

PS the eye glass frame borders on being too personal too. I’m sure some family member can identify those glasses as the glasses ‘their’ family member wore.

Usually around dusk so if police are called it is too dark to look for them. They know they are doing an illegal act but don’t care who they put at risk. I have seen one of them on the MECO bus but have no proof he is the one shooting.

Did you know that some hunters where up in Kalae and their dogs attacked a neighbors pet pig in their yard. What was even more outrageous is that the mother and her 2 daughters had to witness this horrible actions by some hunters dog’s while walking to the bus stop that morning. It took the father to have to shoot one of the hunting’s dogs to scare them off.
Can you imagine this scene in the morning? There are hunting dogs loose all over Kalae and their are homes all up in Kalae with children playing in their yards. Shots are heard in the morning daylight.
I just hope a accident never happens where a person, child gets shot by a stray bullet from someone hunting in Kalae at the state park or on Meyer’s land.
I hope you can address these issues of safety with hunters.
Thank you

Kualapuu Ranch has been a good neighbor in Kualapuu and Kalae. They are responsible ranchers.

The incidents described in the article are from people who are hunting illegally, putting the safety of both the students and Kualapu’u Ranch employes needlessly in danger. The Police department and Kualapu’u Ranch employees have responded to these incidents but have yet to apprehend those responsible for the illegal hunting.
