Rep. John Mizuno, Inga Gibson of the Humane Society of the United States, Rep. Tom Brower, Rep. Gene Ward, Arianne Cameros from Rep. Mizuno's office.Rep. John Mizuno was honored today with a "Humane State Legislator" Award by the Humane Society of the United States for supporting animal-friendly legislation in Hawaii.
Mizuno took the opportunity to highlight HB730 which was stalled in conference committee last year. The bill strengthens Hawaii's dog-fighting laws by making it a crime to knowingly pay to attend or wager on a dog fighting event, or to use devices to train a dog for fighting purposes. Mizuno hopes the bill will be revived this year.
