As a longtime volunteer (10 years and counting) at the Hawaiian Humane Society, I want to say, in the strongest possible terms, that the coverage of a demonstration by a small group of disgruntled former volunteers and employees, who were either fired for cause or quit, is not the actual story here (“Hawaiian Humane Society unjustly killing animals, protesters say,” Star- Advertiser, Feb. 19).

The real story is the 600 active volunteers and almost 100 staff who work tirelessly every day for the benefit of Hawaii’s animals.

To be sure, it is tough work, physically and emotionally, and definitely not for everyone.

Those of us who proudly serve the mission of the Hawaiian Humane Society under Lisa Fowler’s leadership will continue on despite the careless disinformation being expressed by a small group of malcontents.
