Hawaiian Cattle Roundups and Hawaii Five-0 2010 The Roundup Criminals

Summary: The Hawaii Five-0 2010 eight season's 12th episode, The Roundup, Jan. 5, 2018, deals with criminal roundups, not traditional Hawaiian cattle roundups.

Actual perpetrators and domesticated cattle respectively are not among criminal roundups on Hawaii Five-0 2010 active police procedural series episode Ka Hopu Nui 'Ana Jan. 5, 2018, or among Hawaiian cattle roundups.

Director Eagle Egilsson builds criminal roundups of organized crime conspirators against Federal Agent Fischer (Kip Pardue) into the eighth season's 12th episode, series' 180th episode overall. Writers Liz Alper, Alex Kurtzman, Peter Lenkov, Sean O'Reilly, Roberto Orci, Zoe Robyn, Ally Seibert, Matt Wheeler and David Wolkove consider 13 criminal bosses causal agents. Adam Noshimuri (Ian Anthony Dale) discerns Japanese organized crime in Fischer's wife Laura's (Alexandra Hasenbank) and daughter's collateral deaths and in Michelle Shioma's (Michelle Krusiec) demise.

Somewhat like Hawaii Five-0 task force criminal roundups, Hawaiian cattle roundups of previously domesticated, wild-released cattle, goats and hogs exact no bag limits or closed seasons.

Captain George Vancouver (June 22, 1757-May 12, 1798) furnished the cattle-free Hawaiian Islands with their first known cattle breeds through three shipments in 1793 and 1794.

Captain Vancouver gifted Hawaiian Islands King Kamehameha I (1758?-May 8, 1819) with one bull and one cow from southern California, then northern Mexico, Feb. 19, 1793. He had as second shipment for King Kamehameha I Feb. 22, 1793, one ram, two ewes and five cows that he herded ashore at Kealakekua Bay. His third shipment Jan. 15, 1794, included one bull, two cows, two bull calves, five rams and five ewes for King Kamehameha I at Kealakekua Bay.

Just one seasick bull's death within one week of journeying westward from coastal California to coastal Hawaii jarred otherwise sustainable imports of the first 25 cattle.

King Kamehameha I kept the first 25 imports with the Hawaii-born offspring of the two already pregnant females of the original eight cows and seven ewes.

King Kamehameha I leveled a kapu (taboo) against anyone luring any of the original 25 or their descendants away from the grassy, upland slopes of Hualalai. Advisor John Adams Ki'iapalaoku Kuakini's (1789?-Dec. 9, 1844) Great Wall (Ka pā nui o Kuakini) maintained feral cattle within Kailua, Hawai'i county, North Kona District, Hawai'i. The three-decade-long taboo's expiration in 1830 necessitated the first paniolo (cowboys, from Spanish español, "Spanish [speaker from California]") for the first Hawaiian cattle roundups in 1832.

An original landing party of 10 males and 15 females in 1793-1794 occasioned a grass-fed, sustainable population of 10,000 semi-domesticated and 25,000 wild cattle by 1846.

The Hawaiian Islands presently possess six slaughterhouses for processing domesticated beef and domesticated, non-productive dairy cattle into meat and sundry products for domestic and foreign markets.

Imported feeds from the mainland United States and the Philippine Islands queue up higher costs for domesticated cattle ranches than Hawaiian cattle roundups of grass-fed ferals. Perhaps one-third of Hawaii's ranched cattle receive regular regimens of local Napier grass and pineapple bean byproducts of cannery-dried and pulverized pineapple butt ends and shells. Traditional Hawaiian cattle roundups supplied Hawaiian islanders with organic products from grass-fed, wild-roaming feral cattle whose sustainability year-round stalking by Forest and Wildlife division-sanctioned shoots subverts.

Hawaii Five-0 2010 task force criminal roundups, whose equivalents in traditional Hawaiian cattle roundups thin feral populations less totally and less traumatically, take unexpectedly termination-type tactics.
