This is a travesty - birds that are 'inedible' being shot and killed as much as skeet...in fact if hunters want to have target practices, then they might try skeet as an alternative. Given that hunters make up a very small portion of the population in Ontario, why are they constantly given a green light to kill, especially since this killing of cormorants has nothing to do with sustenance??
I understand that according to peer reviewed scientific papers, that the cormorants do not eat as much of 'game' species fish which apparently the fisherman want for themselves. SO again, why are we willing to kill so many of these birds??
Sadly, we will also see many non-selected birds being killed, as the hunters are allowed to take so many cormorants each and every day.
Please lets have a bit of common sense and stop this senseless killing of OUR wildlife....not just the 100,000 or so who seem to want to take such great delight in killing for the fun of it.
