I am very concerned about…

I am very concerned about why this is even being considered. Yes, I know there are a few areas where cormorants are a problem, but why not a controlled cull in those areas rather than wholesale slaughter?
Just who is asking for this? Is it OFAH? I can't think that concerned professional biologists would be in favour of this.
What about the lethal danger to loons who look much like cormorants and are often found in the same areas? This kind of wholesale slaughter could also threaten Great Blue Herons, who have a similar effect on vegetation when they roost. And if people are concerned about nuisance species, then will there be similar programs for Canada geese, gulls, starlings and sparrows? There is plenty of evidence that shows the detrimental effect on other species and the ecosystem when a particular species is targeted in the manner being suggested.
I have yet to see scientific evidence that shows cormorants cause any significant damage to populations of game fish species. Is it not true that the presence of cormorants, herons, terns, gulls and loons in a lake system indicates a healthy fishery?
I earnestly request that the Ontario government rescind this legislation which can only damage our environment.
