Whose interest is she
really interested in?
I read with great interest and am in agreement with Sandra Grey’s letter about changing the laws allowing outsiders coming into our home and taking our jobs and opportunity from our children and grandchildren.
I felt she was right on target and was very impressed with her insight on how we should take care of our own first, then, alas, I realized she was talking about the mainland and not Hawaii.

Donkey death unacceptable
I am writing in response to the story on the front page page regarding “Mele.” The idea that someone would shoot this donkey, even though they are calling it a stray bullet, is worse than disgusting. Besides, you don’t shoot at chickens, either.
The perpetrator deserves to be arrested or whatever the law allows.
I had a dog shot in Ocean View. About two weeks ago, I stopped along the road to let a mother hen and her chicks cross the road. The truck behind me was getting mad I could tell.
God made the animals and he made them before he made the people. Wake up and leave the animals alone.

Stop sunscreen
sales immediately
I couldn’t believe that the Legislature would allow harmful sunscreens until 2021. It’s like saying people can use any kind of sunscreen even if it kills off our coral. Whatever survives up until 2021 will be protected. That is the most ridiculous bill passed.
All shop owners who sell harmful products should remove them and return them to the company that manufactured them. We need to protect what we still now have in our ocean. Fortunately, the coral are spawning now but even this has to be protected so they can continue to survive. If our corals die off, there goes the home and nourishment for many of our marine creatures.
It’s at the bottom of the food chain but without them, we are in deep trouble. We need the ban in place now, not in 2021. There may not be any coral left by then.
