I know that there has been and will be many debates on issue of the cormorants. I believe at one point these birds were going extinct and that is why the hunting of these birds stopped or I could be wrong on this but I did hear this multiple times in different discussions.
These birds have destroyed lots of green space including Chantry Island. Places where people would like to see wilderness etc. and trees only to left with a disgusted feeling.
These birds are also doing a lot of damage to the fish stocks and populations in many rivers, streams and lakes. Imagine being out trolling on Lake Ontario to have a few hundred birds come flying at you in one flock and a few moments later another one.
If you’re going to allow a hunt for these birds on water, ensure that there are firm restrictions on shooting as it could turn dangerous for people.
Please listen to everyone and not just the animal activists. Show people the destruction these birds have caused so they can have a good understanding.
