Comment concerning the Double-Crested Cormorant,
As a Photographer and Hunter, ( as a young boy when I first started hunting I was taught to only shoot what I am going to eat) in South Western Ontario I have only once had the good fortune of actually seeing a pair of these birds on one of our waterways. I am not sure of the over abundance of these birds further north but I definitely do not see them coming anywhere near the populations of Canada Geese that are far and above the Cormorant population.
Do you have statistics that show this bird as expanding its habitat or overpopulating so much so that we need to take this course of action, for a bird that we are just going to dispose of up to 50 carcasses per small game permit.
This sounds to me a little harsh to say the least.
Our Canada Geese are a much larger problem on both sides of the border and we do not open a season to shoot and dispose of them.
Why should these birds be so harshly targeted?
Please Reconsider this action,
M
