As an avid outdoorsman, and father of two young’s boys who also love spend a great deal of time in the beautiful Ontario wilderness, it is very clear to me that population control measures need to introduced. I live and work on the Muskoka Lakes and there are countless examples of islands that the have been totally devastated, and now entirely barren, by these disgusting birds. For “conservationists” that disagree with the proposed hunt....do they not get a flu shot or approve with measures to keep Asian carp out of Canadian lakes??? Cormorants are an invasive “virus” and if they aren’t controlled, they will continue to prey on actual native species (ones that contribute to outfitters and tourism success, and the overall enjoyment of Ontario residents) until they decimate these fisheries and move on to the next one to destroy. We all have a duty as patrons of this earth, to do all we can to protect it. Even if it means, that for the greater good, population numbers are dropped.
