The proposal to "hunt"…

The proposal to "hunt" cormorants as a game bird is simply ludicrous and cruel. Fishermen are under the illusion all fish in lakes is only theirs for the taking but many wildlife depend on these fish for survival. Eventually, will ALL wildlife be targeted to appease hunters and fishermen? No animal eats more than they need to survive but many people do no do the same as I've seen many fishermen do when fishing. Killing cormorants and the unfortunate loons mistaken for cormorants is unjustified as a means of protecting fish stocks for unscrupulous fishermen. Leaving carcasses to rot is beyond rational comprehension. This is one irrational, poorly organized proposal and will only highlight the total lack of compassion and common sense of Ontario's government.
