Double-crested cormorants should be protected and not exploited for the greedy commercial fishing industry that already threatens our wildlife and the well being of our lakes and waterways. People who are worried about "aesthetics" obviously do not care about the wonderful gifts that nature brings us and are perhaps unaware of the interconnection of all species that keep all things alive.

Please remember that this country was built on sacred First Nations land and we are meant to be guardians of Nature and the environment,working in harmony with nature - not exploiters!

This species came back from the brink of extinction,primarily due to environmental contaminants affecting reproduction and now you want to propose that for 10 months of the year hunters could kill 50 per day? This is absurd and tragic. Conservation should be our focus as Canadians - not exploitation!

This proposal makes me ashamed to be a Canadian.
