I am concerned about the shooting of up to 50 cormorants per day during the spring and summer months. Hunters are allowed to shoot them from boats on lakes and rivers and the risk to the general public who are walking, bathing, boating etc in the areas where cormorants are is just too great. How can you ensure that the public will remain safe while this is happening?
I am also concerned about the environmental effect. How can you ensure that these birds are then picked up and disposed of properly?
Every species has a purpose and contributes to the web of life. Since the cormorant population has stabilized and is in possible decline, how can you ensure that these birds are not completely eliminated given the numbers and the length of time that they can be hunted within a year? This will effect the populations of many other species in the long term as it always does.
If nature is allowed to take its natural coarse the cormorant population will stabilize over time (it appears that it already has). I am completely against hunting of this bird at this time. If the population has stabilized then a wait and see policy seems a more viable option. This extreme measure -hunting 9 months of the year and 50 birds per day by each hunter in unacceptable to me.
