Comment
This is a completely wrong-headed proposal. It will allow for slaughter of these peaceful birds who have succeeded in making a comeback in Ontario after almost being wiped out by DDT. The evidence is not there to support the claim that they cause a decline in fish populations as they eat mainly non-commercial fish. Attempting to manage wildlife populations by allowing mass hunting has caused the decline of bird population in the past. It's a cruel, stupid way to try to manage these birds. Also, they are not good to eat so are not really game in the usual sense. Leave these birds alone and work on proposals that support our natural habitats and native species.
