Hawaiian Humane Society opposes the destruction of wild animals as a means of population control unless all other strategies have been exhausted. Lethal control, when absolutely necessary, should be performed using methods that minimize stress and pain, and result in the quickest death possible. We oppose the use of poisons or other methods that cause suffering. We support preventative measures, such as predator-proof fencing, to protect sensitive habitat. We advocate humane methods of bird control, including roost area modification, birth control and proper disposal of garbage and waste.
