The proposal to allow cormorant hunting as suggested - is simply wrong! Cormorants are no more a problem to fishing than gill netting. It is going back to the distant past when killing birds was a simple "sport". They will die off normally just as other animals with effective reproductive abilities likewise do so - as their food supplies or other non-human causing interruptions interfere. This is just so bad that some of us out-door types will be surely injured by over-enthusiastic, simple-minded hunters.
Are you going to set aside areas for normal people to keep away from (which is most of Ontario's lakes districts) during "cormorant hunting season" - which is to be almost all year? This is the worst idea I have heard of in all my years - from a past, highly recognized government department. Don't do it!
