A goat-eradication effort had been scheduled for Friday.

But the Hawaii Tribune-Herald is reporting it was postponed because of a dispute between state Division of Forestry and Wildlife administrators and the new training area commander, Lt. Col. Rolland Niles.

Army Garrison-Hawaii spokesman Mike Egami says state officials expressed their concerns in an argumentative way with Niles.

Wildlife division official Roger Imoto says the state is investigating the Army’s goat eradication plans on leased state land.

He says he’s had difficulty obtaining details from the Army.
