The proposal to literally eradicate the Double Crested Cormorant is a horrifying and ill conceived idea. Because the birds are “destroying small islands and eating fish that people feel are theirs.”
These birds are providing a food source for the Bald Eagle that is making a comeback. Why is it okay to introduce non indigenous fish into our waterways, but birds that are indigenous to Ontario are going to be obliterated. This is a cull, and saying the Cormorant will be a game bird, and that one person may shoot 50 in a day is ridiculous.
Yet another example of pleasing your friends who find the bird a nuisance.
Look at the science. It is your job to make sure that your decisions are well thought out.
