This proposall to alter current Wildlife, Conservation and Hunting legislation in order to control/exploit Cormorant populations is absolutely absurd. Hunting for food/ sport/recreation is a well respected and acceptable aspect of Canadian culture. Ethical hunting standards, regulations and laws have evolved over time to protect and balance citizen and property rights in harmony with maintaining healthy and sustainable wildlife populations. The deliberate and intentional manipulation of ethical standards to accomodate a Cormorant cull is a gross violation in both the spirit and intent of existing legisation. Proposed bag and possession limits are absolute nonsense .... a lisence to pollute when one considers the cormorant has absollutelly no commercial or cullinary value. It is not likely and I am highly doubtfull cormorant carcasses will be properly retrieved and disposed. At a sanitary level, this is not acceptable. As is, modifying legislatiion to allow hunting from boats. This would be in gross violation of public and hunter safety standards. Please stop this now.
