I am deeply disappointed by the powers at hand for suggesting the hunt of cormorants. Besides the ethical reasons for traumatizing, killing and maiming innocent birds, I worry about the effect of dead birds floating around, about bullets that can kill whatever else gets in the way, about the lead from the bullets and about natures equilibrium in general. I was aghast at the statement about how much FUN it would be to go kill them. Please, do not do this. I live next to Georgian Bay and have never felt that they are an imposition in any way. I hardly see any !! Teach people that every life should be treated with respect and that includes cormorants and that killing is never fun. Those birds were here long before we were and they did fine without peoples interference. Please read the article on the Animal Alliance website regarding their history. Also, read what the SPCA has to say regarding this slaughter. Stop messing with nature.
