There is no justification proposed for the need to increase wild capture to support these activities. Why is such a large increase – from 25 birds per year to 200+ justified?

The proposal does not explain how impacts on wild populations are assessed or how the capture
will be monitored.

The proposal states that Northern Goshawk populations are stable without providing any basis
for this assertion. The first two Ontario Breeding Bird Atlases documented population declines
for this species.

The social benefit for this proposal is not justified.

In closing, for the reasons outlined above, I do not support this proposal and it should not move ahead.
