Please do not pass this proposal.

Cormorants were declining not long ago and have recovered somewhat. How is it humane to allow shooting during an animal’s breeding season? They are not palatable and would be left to rot or thrown away, and the number of birds an individual hunter is allowed would send the cormorant into the extinct species category to join the passenger pigeon.

Since the election, the provincial government has shown its disregard for climate change and nature, and this proposal is another indication that it doesn’t care about and has no respect for our environment.
