Maybe after they finish the Rail in 2050.

The gun range’s popularity now has the city thinking about building a second complex in West Oahu.

“There was a lot of conversation about whether or not we could replicate this finally on the west side,” said Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.

Correct. No steel targets. You can thank the friendly neighborhood cat lover for that. He pushed that issue for over a decade till he got the restriction.

Man, cat lovers. I just saw a clip of some demanding we corral up the nēnē to "protect them" and let the feral cats run loose. They all looked like Mainland haoles too.

There's a huge group of cat people on Oahu. They regularly feed and fix the strays.  Almost all are volunteers who take time to trap the stays and the vet either fixed them for free or a very reduced cost.  Many buy the food out of their own pocket.  The group also pools donations to help treat hurt strays.

We got 1 of our cats from these types of people.  It was a friendly one that our friend thought that we would like.  Then a few days later, she's in our home.  We offered money, but our friend declined.  She just wanted this friendly cat to have  a home.  So she paid for the vet visit to have her checked, fixed, and bathed.  And even gave us a huge cat tree.  All because she wanted this cat to have a home.

The more I deal with people, the more i like spending my time with animals -- including cats who would kill and eat me if they were bigger!

I rescued a kitten that I found when brush cutting, and now he lives a charmed lazy life. Not all those cat people are responsible however. They dump food and create colonies that spread disease and wipe out other species. You never see cat colonies in the wild unless someone is feeding them. Its actually pretty disgusting.

Did the chickens at KHSC survive the shutdown and renovations?  Or were they eaten by the renovation crew:

Chicken papaya soup
Chicken and squash
Chicken calamungai soup
Chicken adobo......

Sorry.  All the mention of cats made me think of the chickens. :D

I TNR.

I pay out of my own pocket. Sometimes I even keep the cats depending on how friendly they are to my own cats at home. Some are just happy to be in the wild.

It's very time consuming. Btw I know a few sheriffs and HPD officers who do the same.  And its not our faults. Some cats I have never seen before shows up in colonies. And are very friendly. That tells me that PEOPLE dump them. Either monetary problems or moving problems or whatever. I have 7 cats from just that.

Idc if I'm a crazy cat person. I love dogs too. We have 3.

Just like mongeese and cats from early Hawaii settlers. People have always been the problem.

Ive seen first hand.. 2 diff people, 2 diff situations let their dog loose at the airport. 1 was a lab and the other was a Chihuahua.
So whos fault is that?

Btw I just caught a kitty tonight to get neutered . but hes hella friendly with me, so I'll prob let him live in this forever home.

There used to be a handful of (I assumed) deaf ones that were pretty friendly.  I used to get to the range early and have my coffee and eat something before the range opened.  They would sometimes be there, or other times just show up.  Occasionally, I would notice them randomly coming out from the bushes on the makai side of the range.  Walk across the range, usually maybe a few feet in front of the firing line.  WHILE the range was hot, not bothered one bit. . .  ;D

I mean it's not like Hawaii Kai bus stop (across Costco) colony, but I have seen a bunch at the range. They're mostly in the bush area.  I'm surprised they havent taken care of the chicken problem.
