I am sad to say I find this very disappointing, that a species that was almost decimated by humans, finally repopulated itself to earlier, or below earlier levels, now has been deemed an inconvenience by anglers, fishers, as well as homeowners on the lakes.

Just because they want to fish and these birds are competition is no reason to allow this mass slaughter of 50/day per hunter to happen. Not only is the extremely high amount of birds allowed to be killed daily disturbing, but that you want to increase the days of hunting to almost a year...so really, this birds will never have any relief to just live their lives. I'm sorry people decide to go build their cottages in their territory, that is their own fault.
At what point will humans decide to live among nature, rather than constantly trying to destroy and subdue it?
Cormorants eat fish! you cannot change this so please reconsider destroying them for it! In the proposal there is a line saying you want to even allow the hunters to waste the meat? This is nothing but arrogance. I have seen what happens when humans try and 'control' a species, or make things better.

please do not allow this proposal to go through! we need to stop taking over every inch of our wild spaces, then kill off anything that may be competition with not our 'needs', but simply our frivolous wants.
thank you
