I sstrongly believe that Sport hunters can ‘spoil’ the birds after being shot, meaning both parents and chicks can be blasted out of their nest and left to rot.This is an abomination against common sense, science-based policy decision, transparency and more than a century’s worth of evolution of effective wildlife management and it must be rejected out of hand.
Please leave a comment on the comment,
- Create health and environmental hazards from the large numbers of rotting birds.
- Result in increased gun use and subsequent disturbance, particularly in cottage country
during family vacation time.
- Cater to the pro-gun lobby to the effect that guns and killing solve problems
- Again push the cormorant back to endangered status, necessitating full protection
- The Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Common Tern, Caspian Tern, Black-crowned Night Herons, Great Blue Herons, and Great Egrets will also be disturbed during their breeding season by this hunting action.
There is a petition to sign as well. https://www.change.org/p/derek-robertson-ontario-ca-let-these-birds-liv…
