Page 2 of 2 <br />also talks about her trips to Yosemite and mayors conferences. Who takes care of the hawk while she is <br />gone`? I read that hawks have to be exercised every day. She is either neglecting the hawk while she is <br />gone or she has somebody else, probably untrained taking care of it. <br />It is the job of the city to protect the residents and snake sure the appropriate steins take place in a <br />residential neighborhood. I admit I am afraid to stand up to the mayor on this but you commissioners <br />have the job to ensure our safety. I am fearful of this trained hunting animal in my neighborhood and in <br />my park. The way the mayor talks about training her hawk sounds a lot like how people train their pit <br />bulls for fighting (with the blood and guts). While this type of activity should not be allowed anywhere, <br />you should at least ensure it does not happen in our neighborhoods. If you allow the mayor to keep and <br />train this hunting animal in her backyard, you have to allow anybody else to do the same thing since the <br />mayor should not be receiving special treatment. Would you approve a hunting hawk in your <br />neighborhood where the owner is throwing in wild animals for the bird to kill? How about next to a <br />park? How about next to an elementary or pre-school? These places are no different then what is in <br />front of you. Other people, kids, and pets are at risk. <br />Please do not allow the mayor to have special treatment by allowing her to keep a hunting hawk near my <br />home. <br />10/8/2007 <br />
