This idea is absurd and I…

This idea is absurd and I urge you to not make the cormorant a game bird. Shooting from boats during summer months is a very dangerous idea.

Hunting this bird during it's breeding season (April to July) is a terrible idea. What happens to the young if the parents are killed? No other bird is hunted during it's breeding season.

Shooting near a nesting colony is extremely likely to endanger other birds.

Hunting should mean eating. Nobody is going to eat these birds. How would you propose disposing of the limit of 50 per day?? This could mean a single hunter can destroy 350 birds a week.

Please re-think this terrible idea.
