If culls have already…

If culls have already occurred on protected sites (Pelee was noted), then the lands held in the broad public interest are being managed. Without research to prove that these aquatic birds are harming the broader ecosystem, no hunting season should be put in place.
We should reevaluate our use of waterfront spaces and consider that pristine lawns and beaches aren’t needed everywhere. Property owners need to blend with the environment, not bend the environment to fit their aesthetic.
The proposal mentions that these animals are just returning from the decimation of the 1950s. Perhaps we should stop evaluating timeframes in comparison to our relatively short human lifespans and start thinking in longer terms to allow nature to rebound with more vigour. Predators were not mentioned in the proposal, and I am wondering if there is a balance to be struck if their natural predators can re-establish themselves.
Finally, where is the funding coming from to allow for the monitoring, enforcement, and prosecution of those who do not follow the hunting guidelines? I am concerned that your resources are already stretched too far.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my thoughts. Please make this decision based on your expertise and not the whims of individuals or lobby groups. While I am thankful that you have read my thoughts, I respect your more in-depth understanding of this species and the environment.
