A

So the only thing I want to talk about is the wonderful uh letters that we received. It's like.

A

A cycle of feral cats, um so animal control just to clarify some things. In addition, all right, I I know.

A

That this is always a passionate issue with everyone very, very passionate.

A

Sometimes more than human lives when it comes to animals- and I and I respect that.

A

Even as an animal lover myself, however, what I will say is our animal control.

A

Is not trapping these animals to put a needle in them to kill them? As being stated by many people,.

A

There are solutions: we've worked with the animal control board.

A

We've worked with all of these organizations that want to pen letters that are passionately.

A

And written with a very, very nice flair of drama, and I thank you for acknowledging that drama in.

A

One of your posts, however, we have plenty of things to consider when it comes to safety.

A

And one it's human safety along the paths in the parks, children.

A

Biggest thing, aside from that, is the buzzards, the vultures that we've been working for years to keep.

A

Out of the flight path of our multi-million dollar aircraft at pax river, with the human being, that's.

A

Sitting in the aircraft that's taking off at you know: 350 400 knots flying over great mills.

A

Which we don't want a bird strike, so it crashes. So with that being said, there is.

A

A balance that has to happen the vultures are eating the cat food that you're throwing out.

A

It is a not complex, complex issue, but it can be easily solved. So what I ask is, rather than.

A

Running around telling people we're killing cats is to contact our department of emergency services.

A

And find out the solutions we can have just like we had the solutions of trapping the alligator and.

A

Relocating it to florida, if we there's solutions, but this isn't the the way to get a solution.

A

So please reach them, reach out to them: um they're not trying to euthanize the animals they're trying.

A

To find solutions that works for everybody and that's what that team over there is about and our.

A

Parks and rec is about so I appreciate that and I look forward to working through that problem, so.

A

Blessing the fleet was amazing and the gala was amazing, and I thank the optimist for putting that.

A

On I thank the hundred and let me tell you, the island looked amazing. Elizabeth went over there.

A

For the first time ever and she's worked in the county been in the county for forever and forgot.

A

To bring my son, so it was pretty cool. He couldn't ring the bell because of the way they got it set.

A

Up but he did go to the top of the lighthouse and he enjoyed that. So. Thank you very much.
