ROAR Rescue Of Animal Rights

A resolution for CAT SANCTUARIES is scheduled for 3/29 WEDNESDAY @ 1pm! The State wants to create cat sanctuaries and your advice & comments are needed to move this forward! Although the information presented in the resolution is negative, it is because the State has only been hearing complaints after complaints. If the cat community is well-represented, we can get this resolution to be implemented. Last year, 1000 people testified for a hearing and it really showed the State the valiant efforts of the cat community. If you have a minute, please send in a testimony! I've included an example. You don't have to be as elaborate, just be persuasive as to why the cats should get a cat sanctuary!

There are 3 ways to testify:
1. Zoom
2. Written testimony
3. In Person LIVE

If you are testifying online via ZOOM or sending written testimony, it is due 24 hrs before the scheduled hearing (due 3/28 TUES before 1pm). If you are testifying LIVE in person at the State Capitol, you don't have to register, just show up! It creates more of an impact if the Senators can hear you via ZOOM or LIVE!

Free food this Sunday! For domestic pets. If you are a feral cat colony caregiver, you cannot pick up from here, just FYI.

ROAR wants to advocate for feral cats and for the cat colony caregivers who care for Oahu’s feral cats. These caregivers are independent “volunteers”, just regular people who manage different “colonies” around the island. “Cat colonies” are groups of cat living in banks, parking lots, hiking trails, schools, parks, beaches, churches, etc. Colonies are managed by responsible caregivers. Some caregivers feed 1 or 2 colonies. Then there are those who drive around an area to feed multiple colonies. There are also those who feed a hundred or 200 cats a day. Not only do these caregivers feed the cats, many of them TNR (trap and neuter), and pay for supplies, food & medical expenses out of their own pockets.

Did you know? Oahu has a feral cat population crisis. The cat overpopulation is growing at an exponential rate. In 2019, the city tried to help the cat crisis. HHS was contracted by the city for its Feline Fix Program. The Feline Fix Program neutered feral and free roaming cats for free. There was also another program, Neuter Now, for pets at the cost of $20. Both of these city programs have now been cancelled. 

What exists today at HHS is the free neuter program (w/ ear notch) for free roaming cats (Wednesdays & Thursdays only, except Thanksgiving holiday). Also, $40 for male, $50 for female, neutering for pet cats.

We wonder what happened at City & County that made them cancel those very necessary programs? Many people from the cat community depended on those programs to manage cats living on public state land and city & county property. 

我们想为照顾瓦胡岛野猫的猫群看护者发声。这些照顾者是“志愿者”，只是管理岛上许多不同“殖民地”的普通人。 “猫群”是由生活在银行、停车场、远足径、学校、公园、海滩、教堂等地的负责任的照顾者管理的猫群。一些照顾者喂养 1 或 2 个猫群。然后有些人开车绕着一个地区喂养多个殖民地。也有每天喂一百或两百只猫的人。这些看护者不仅要喂养猫，其中许多是 TNR（陷阱和绝育），并且自掏腰包支付医疗费用。

你可知道？欧胡岛有野猫种群危机。猫的人口过剩正以指数速度增长。 2019年，该市试图帮助解决猫危机。 HHS 与该市签订了猫科动物修复计划的合同。猫科动物修复计划免费绝育了野猫和自由漫游的猫。还有另一个项目 Neuter Now，费用为 20 美元。这两个城市计划现已取消。

今天在 HHS 存在的是免费漫游猫的免费中性计划（带耳罩）（仅限周三和周四，感恩节假期除外）。此外，男性40美元，女性50美元，宠物猫绝育。

我们想知道 City & County 发生了什么让他们取消了那些非常必要的计划？猫社区的许多人依靠这些计划来管理生活在公共土地和市县财产上的猫。

Promise, one of my favorite fosters.  💚💖

He was a mama's boy and when Grumpy (the mother) disappeared, he cried. It's touching to see how animals are emotionally capable of feeling a spectrum of emotions.

Joy, a current foster of ours, is always very sassy. Does that count as a feeling and/or emotion or its just an attitude? 😁😉😅

Promise is very different than his sister. While Oscar does not need a lot of attention and is quite happy sleeping all day, Promise gets very anxious if when I dont say hi or give pets throughout the day. I think it's because Promise was raised literally in my pocket and Oscar was independent from birth.

Promise，我最喜欢的寄养者之一。

他是妈妈的孩子，当 Grumpy（妈妈）失踪时，他哭了。看到动物在情感上如何能够感受一系列情绪，这令人感动。

乔伊，我们目前的寄养者，总是很时髦。这算是一种感觉和/或情感还是只是一种态度？ 😁😉😅

Promise 和他的妹妹很不一样。虽然Oscar不需要太多关注，整天睡得很开心，但如果我一整天不打招呼或不给宠物，Promise就会非常焦虑。我想这是因为 Promise 是在我的口袋里长大的，而 Oscar 从出生就独立了。

Veggie Burgers from ROAR Kitchen 🍔🍟

We cooked with for the buns and for the "meat". The Beyond brand was surprisingly amazing! One of the best veggie burgers we've ever tasted. Of course, it's extra cheesy though the way we made it.

At ROAR, we want to make sure we aren't consuming a lot of meat because...well, we love animals! Not only do we want animal lives to be spared as yummy meals but did you know, not every meat product in the food industry is created within ethical standards? Yes it's true.

Many animals suffer during the process of being raised at an unclean farm and in extremely harsh conditions. The owners and the people at the farm are often very cruel to the animals. They physically harm the animals, abuse, disfigure and torture the animals. Would you eat an unhappy cow from such a place? I personally wouldn't.

A difference each of us can make is by choosing different foods and different brands. We will post about some ethical meat brands in our upcoming posts!

Stay tuned for this recipe & tutorial!

ROAR Kitchen 的素食汉堡🍔🍟

我们用@kingshawaiian 做包子，用@beyondmeat 做“肉”。 Beyond 品牌出奇地惊人！我们吃过的最好的素食汉堡之一。当然，它是额外的俗气。

在 ROAR，我们希望确保我们不会吃太多肉，因为……嗯，我们喜欢动物！我们不仅希望动物的生命能够作为美味的食物而幸免于难，而且您知道吗，并非食品行业中的每一种肉类产品都是按照道德标准生产的？对，是真的。

许多动物在不干净的农场和极其恶劣的条件下饲养的过程中遭受痛苦。农场主和农场里的人往往对动物非常残忍。他们对动物进行身体伤害、虐待、毁容和折磨动物。你会吃这种地方的一头不快乐的牛吗？我个人不会。

我们每个人都可以通过选择不同的食物和不同的品牌来做出改变。我们将在即将发布的帖子中发布一些道德肉类品牌！

请继续关注这个食谱和教程！
