We are deeply disturbed by the proposal to allow open season on the double breasted cormorant, particularly since the rational is based on outdated and unsubstantiated data. This appears to be an initiative based on political consideration and in response to a vocal minority. The long term effects of this policy will upset the ecology and likely result in the decimation of cormorant colonies with untold consequences. That The Ontario government would engage in the slaughter of this magnitude is astounding and indicates a very cavalier attitude toward the environment overall. And a complete lack of concern for living beings who provide a balance in our ecology.
Please reconsider this irresponsible policy.
