I am opposed to the current proposal to allow hunting of double crested cormorants because I disagree with giving hunters the right to use firearms throughout the summer months when I, and many other Ontarians, spend a considerable amount of time canoeing and kayaking on rivers and lakes shores where cormorants are often present.

Given that the cormorant is not edible, I do not believe that it will attract serious game hunters, but is more likely to be used for indiscriminant target practice.
