I think the proposal to establish a hunting season for Cormorants is a dangerous idea that is not based on scientific research. Shooting birds in breeding colonies while they nest with other species will be so terribly destructive for all the birds in that colony, as young birds will be left alone to die of starvation, while all species will suffer tremendous stress. If control of Cormorants is deemed necessary, methods based on science should be utilized rather than allowing hunters to manage the population. It would also be so dangerous for people using waterways during the peak season. Please do not allow this to happen.
