Don't you find it a bit…

Don't you find it a bit absurd to allow anyone with a license to shoot up to 50 birds of a native Ontario species in one day, while they would mostly serve no purpose to hunters as they are bad to eat due to their diet of fish? I understand that in certain locations cormorants can damage property and could potentially harm the fishing industry, but as of right now land owners are legally allowed to kill cormorants if they are damaging or are about to damage their property. This is not to mention the fact that certain other species, which could potentially be endangered, might also be accidentally shot instead. So rather than just allow anyone with a game hunting license to shoot these birds in large numbers, would it not be a more reasonable solution to only allow culling in problem areas, and potentially grant special permits based on the situation? Personally I find it ridiculous that this is allowed and doesn't have to go through any sort of animal welfare regulations. It's crazy that the government can get away with this kind of thing.
