AR-News: (US-hi) Bill seeks expansion of aerial hunts of animals

[Animalconcerns]

Federal authorities would be allowed to conduct aerial hunts of feral
pigs, goats, sheep, deer and cattle on state and private lands under an
environmental-protection bill advancing in the state Legislature.
...
The advocacy group Animal Rights Hawai'i opposes the measure. "We know
that Hawai'i's fragile environment face many perils, most of them
resulting from human occupation," group president Cathy Goeggel told the
committee. "We urge you to deny this carte blanche requested for the
federal agencies to do anything they want to animals who have committed no
crime and did not ask to be brought here."
