We are disgusted that our Province is proposing to allow the wholesale, uncontrolled, impossible to monitor, slaughtering of cormorants.

My understanding is that concerns that there are too many are largely just anecdotes, complaints and unsubstantiated claims that were debunked long ago.

In reality, cormorants are not overabundant, their numbers are relatively modest, have stabilized and are dropping in some areas. The entire North American double-crested cormorant population is estimated to be less than the population of Toronto, with only about 125,000 birds in the lower Great Lakes.

The Ontario governments proposal is not science or fact based. The people of Ontario care about the environment and it's wildlife. Start to listen to what the citizens of this Province want, and that is a clean, healthy environment for today and the future.

We are dismayed at the lack of caring for clean energy and a clean, healthy environment by this administration. If this goes ahead, it will be another reason to NOT vote for the current Premier and his government in the next election.
