I am totally opposed to the proposed changes to establish a hunting season for the Double-crested cormorant through amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Act.
In reading much of the scientific information available there seems to be no evidence to back up the need for the slaughter of a recognized Ontario native bird species. Why in the world would the powers that be submit the proposal and want to have such measures even suggested after stating that the Great Lakes populations has stabilized or declined slightly.
And really the fish populations may be in decline not because of pollution, over fishing etc but because of Double-crested cormorants????
And I want to cry and laugh when I hear talk of aesthetics being put out there.
It's ALMOST laughable to think a ministry person actually wrote and thought this proposal up......as when I first heard about the proposal I thought it surely had to be fake news......
