Cormorants are an important…

Cormorants are an important part of our ecosystem. Yes, some aspects of their natural behaviours are distasteful to some. This does not give us the right to exterminate, extirpate, or destroy any part of the species.

A better solution would be to allow their colonies to exist where they are, create natural heritage sites where they are and use these locations as a teaching tool about our local ecosystems.

Learn respect. Teach respect. Learn respect.

Clearly their resilience indicates that the ecosystems that they inhabit require this species to fill a specific niche. We have collectively done enough damage to our fellow earthlings, both intentionally and passively. Let’s not forget our history of hunting species to extinction, and for heavens sake, let’s not repeat it!

Do we need to be reminded of the bleak history we have inflicted on species such as the passenger pigeon?

The Ontario government should focus on helping Ontarians live better, not trying to destroy other life, simply because it exists.

This was never an election issue. Please do cus on what ontarians really need and not what some destructive special interest groups want. Thank you.
