Hogstop is a contraceptive feed used to control feral pig populations, and some community members want to use it here in Hawai'i. According to public information, the first bags of feed arrived on Oahu in May/June 2022. 

The exclusive distributorship was awarded to a sole proprietor on Oahu, and featured in Hawai`i news broadcasts, along with social media presence on at least Facebook.

Patent is still pending and we don't know enough about the risks.

We kindly request the State of Hawaii issue a cease and desist order to the sole proprietor of Hogstop Hawai'i at this time. We are asking for transparency, detailed information, and community discussion before this product is allowed to be used in any capacity within our state.

We the people of Hawai'i have a say in this decision making, as this impacts everyone who lives here, our water, our environment, our wildlife, and Native Hawaiian rights to hunt and forage.

Mahalo nui.
