I am a woman, and a 61 year old Ontario resident. I am an angler, not a hunter. My view is that a cormorant hunting season is definitely needed to control the population. They are so numerous in some areas that they are pushing out other species and decimating fish populations. Wherever they nest, their droppings kill plant life and turn the area into a wasteland. Large trees are dead, and the droppings must be impacting water quality as well.
I hope the province will implement this proposal, and monitor populations carefully, and make adjustments as needed.
