I think that this proposal…

I think that this proposal is an antiquated solution in the twenty first century. There will be open season on these birds for a ridiculous amount of time. Surely, these days there is something else that can deal with the problem other than basically unregulated mass slaughter.

It seems that you are basically encouraging the extinction of a species. Populations can easily go from stable to endangered and then...

There is also the question of unintended consequences. A swimming loon is easily mistaken for a cormorant and that population is fragile . In spite of assurances that this won't happen, it can't be discounted.

As one can see from this website , the situation is controversial but we have a responsibility
to the natural world, even when it is inconvenient and messy and we shouldn't take the first easy solution but try to find one that will humanely deal with the problem.
