In regards to the "proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario"

I am a Canadian citizen who is disappointed by this proposal. Human activity and pesticide poisoning nearly pushed cormorants in Ontario to extinction on two previous occasions. In recent years, their resilience as a species has been proven in their return to those habitats that will support them.

Cormorants are an inherent part of the natural ecosystem of the area. As Canadians, we should proudly protect them and allow them to flourish, not target them as prey.
