I am an avid hunter, fisherman and conservationist that lives in the Lake St. Clair basin where sport fishing and hunting are a very important way of life, and for many, an income and way of supporting their families. Over the years I have had to watch these birds decimate trees along our shorelines of the Mitchells Bay area, and once the trees died and fallen, the banks of the dykes begin to give way as the support from the trees roots are gone. The birds sit along the banks of the waters edge and just clean up small fish, then go back and destroy the trees they roost in. I like the proposal made to cull the birds and would welcome the opportunity to assist in controlling these birds.
