As an amateur ornithologist, migratory bird rescue volunteer with FLAP Canada, and regular Ebird contributor as a citizen scientist, I am completely against this proposal to allow the indiscriminate killing of Cormorants, even right through their breeding season.
1. Cormorants were indigenous to this area before they were decimated by DDT. We should be celebrating their return as a success.
2. Cormorant populations are now stabilizing
3. Other shorebirds, such as Black-crowned Night Herons exist within the Cormorant colonies. They would also be put in danger by the hunt.
4. Dead and injured birds would be left where they fall. The injured will die painfully. The dead could cause contamination such as botulism, which is deadly to waterfowl once it gets washed into the water
People are over-populated. The answer to human population is not a cull of human beings.
