The Double-crested Cormorant…

The Double-crested Cormorant is a symbol of success in cleaning up the Great Lakes. While I understand that some may view cormorants as ugly, offensive and responsible for damage to trees, there seems to be no sound reason to permit a hunt.
Certain terms of the proposal are obscene, i.e
1) To permit a 'hunt" during nest season. Does government not understand that orphaned young will inevitably die of starvation? Or is that the strategy.
2) Setting a daily limit of 50 is purely cynical proposal. What is inferred is that a 'kill up to 50 a day and come back to morrow for another 50." Not "hunting' it's slaughter.
