City Finally Targets Stray Farm Animals | Honolulu News

The city’s finally stepping in to tackle the chaotic problem of stray farm animals—horses, cows, goats, sheep—wandering onto roads and into neighborhoods. After a new law kicked in last July, the Department of Customer Services is hunting for a contractor to handle captures and removals, filling a decades-long gap. With no official pound master or city oversight, farmers and ranchers have long relied on each other—often with no backup plan. As more people move in and animals grow beyond care, the situation’s worsening. Now, officials hope this becomes as routine as calling animal control for a lost pet—ensuring safety and better outcomes for both people and animals.
