HONOLULU (KHON2) — Maui Humane Society (MHS) announced Friday that federal cuts have hit their staffing program and directly impacted Lahaina wildlife survivors.

With less than 24 hours notice, we’ve lost funding that employed Lahaina wildlife survivors at our shelter, via the National Dislocated Workers Grant program.

MHS said they are actively exploring ways to support the impacted team members and will keep the community updated as they navigate this situation.

They added these cuts greatly impact not only the team but the animals who rely on them.
