Comment
I am writing to urge you not to allow the hunting of the cormorants.
In reality, cormorants are not overabundant, their numbers are relatively modest, have stabilized and are dropping in some areas. The entire North American double-crested cormorant population is estimated to be less than the population of Toronto, with only about 125,000 birds in the lower Great Lakes.
The Ontario governments proposal is not science or fact based. It is emotional and political and could result in wiping out cormorants in most of the province.
Please reconsider this proposal.
