This is one of the most disgusting 'hunting' proposals I have ever heard....it will be an excuse for gun loving Cowboys to murder birds. I live on a lake. We see Cormorants, loons, ducks, herons, geese Osprey, and Eagles on a regular basis. We used to see the occasional swan until a couple of 'hunters' killed two of them thinking they were snow geese. Every time humans interfere in natures processes we screw it up. Killing animals for recreation is hard for non-hunters to accept but accept it we must...but this is a step over the line. Why should every fish, bird, deer, moose be a target of 'sport', and a commercial cash generator for business....we need to share resources with other species. The last thing we need are a bunch of cowboys in boats slaughtering birds for fun and leaving the rotting carcasses to wash up on beaches. Give your head a shake and kill this senseless proposed 'hunting' regulation. As a country person living in Northern Ontario I already have to live in proximity to bear hunters, duck hunters, moose hunters, geese hunters, deer hunters, etc...we have to wear blaze orange just to walk the kilometre to our mail box....we don't need more noise and danger, thank you very much! Maybe Mr Ford shouldn't listen to every lobby group with a vested interest and instead get some third party scientific advice before making decisions that effect the balance of nature.
