I do not support the creation of a cormorant hunt... no hunter eats fish ducks, this would be nothing more than wholesale slaughter disguised as “hunting”. Cormorants are a Native bird species documented in Ontario since the very first lists of species were made. See McIlwraith Birds of Ontario. Cormorants are actually part of this ecosystem and are beneficial in keeping true invasive species populations in check.. ie Round Goby and Alewife. They are also a source of food for the recovering Bald Eagle populations. Havent we as humans done enough to imbalance Nature? When will we learn that “managing” nature doesnt work.. Nature manages itself quite well without our interference. If it hadnt been for DDTs killing off Cormorants to begin with we would be used to them at their current population. Which according to all current research has plateaued and is not increasing!! This poor policy based on popular opinion and vocal money making industry leaders ie sport fishing aficionados.. must be stopped. There is no science to back up or support this horrible course of action. Dont let Doug Ford make Canada into a trump disaster.
