Comment
Others have previously studied and enacted 'remedies' for cormorant control.
Here we have a waterfowl that is not particularly edible (not at all according to some sources) which makes it an obvious choice for shoot-and-dispose. Yet nowhere in the proposal is it mentioned where these dead birds will end up. Landfill is the obvious answer, and that is not well advised.
Actions involving breeding controls would be a more responsible course to take. The MNR could hire summer students to break eggs or something similar.
