Comment
I am against opening up a hunting season.
While the population has increased significantly in recent decades, MNRF indicates that the population is now stable or declining – a common pattern of growth and stabilization in natural populations – which suggests from the outset this proposal to actively reduce the species’ population by hunting is unwarranted.
I am concerned due to the following reasons:
Lack of scientific credibility and justification, inconsistencies with standard norms for hunting and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act principles, impact on Double-crested Cormorant populations, native biodiversity and ecosystems, Public safety and enforcement of proposed changes
