I believe in good wildlife…

I believe in good wildlife management and sometimes that requires hunters to harvest more of certain types of animals and birds than others. I also believe that the Government of Ontario's hunting laws and regulations are based on scientific research, continuous monitoring, and the analyzation of this information by intelligent and experienced individuals. If your organization believes that these new rules will help curb the population of double-crested cormorants, then I believe you are right. Even if you gain information in the next year that shows that too many birds are being killed, I believe that you will take a look at the changes you can make to the laws and regulations.

The one thing I do not agree with you on is the hunter's ability to let this meat rot. This is not what hunting is about. Don't let the rest of Ontario believe that hunters are only after 'the kill'. This change in the regulations would help gun restriction/hunter abolition advocates change the minds of the undecided.

Thank you
