I am deeply disturbed by the proposal to cull double-crested cormorants and designate them as a game species. Ontario wildlife is constantly under threat due to pollution, habitat loss and other factors. Double-crested cormorants are not invasive as we are being led to believe and there is no doubt they play a crucial role within Ontario's ecosystem. It is my understanding that people with small game license will be allowed to kill up to 50 birds per day, I am appalled that this is even being considered..I do not see how any species can survive this type of persecution. Our government should be taking steps to protect native species and not catering to special interest groups. Those of us who care about Ontario's natural environment will be watching this issue closely.
