I appose the Ontario Governments proposal to open hunting for Double Crested Cormorant.
The season and the limit can potentially destroy the Cormorant population which has only recently rebounded from past environmental pressures.
Hunting on public waters during the entire recreational season is unthinkable.
Leaving carcasses to rot where they fall does not promote positive environmental stewardship and respect.
Cormorant populations appear to have stabilized. They prey heavily on invasive species and non game species.
Humans eat fish - will we propose open hunting season for this species next?
