This is craziness! Why do we…

This is craziness!
Why do we need an open season on a NATIVE SPECIES that is stable??!
Leaving the animals to rot where they land will increase problem scavenger populations like raccoon and coyote.
Allowing hunting during breeding season with no restrictions on entry to the colonies could lead to colony collapse and failure to reproduce in species that co-nest with them.
Landowners and hatcheries already have tools available to them to protect their property.
The primary diet of the species is NOT sports fishes.
Cormorants are an apex predator in our watershed, controlling overgrowth of other species that would be detrimental to the environment
These birds are a preferred prey of the rebounding Bald Eagle population. I dream of the day I can see a Bald Eagle in Southern Ontario.
The increased hunting will introduce even more lead waste ammunition into the environment, increasing the threat to grazing species like the Trumpeter Swan.
Please, reconsider a more responsible action to a problem that really doesn’t exist!
