I totally support the proposal because there are hundreds of cormorants at the south end of Lake Simcoe and they make it impossible to have a full night's sleep due to their constant grunting in their nesting colonies. Moreover every day our boat and cars as well as the trees and foliage around their nesting trees are covered in increasing amounts of guano.
It is the sheer numbers of them that make it crucial to severely curtail their numbers. People who live in cities and towns have no idea about these effects but I bet they would not be trying to protect the cormorant if they had their properties being damaged in this way! Let them imagine having to clean their vehicles each and every day to be able to use them. If you are not in the vicinity of a colony right now, you may be next as they will move to other trees once they have defoliated the current ones. Don't be so quick to presume people supporting the proposal are bad but try to put yourself in their position and think how you would feel in the same situation.
