The proposal of the Ontario Government for what is basically 'open season' on a native bird species is an enormous backward step in Wildlife Management. Encouraging what amounts to wholesale destruction of any species in this day and age in NOT acceptable in Canada.
Other jurisdictions have managed to work out control management plans without total devastation. it reminds me of the wholesale destruction of the buffalo in a past century, just as sport and not even for use of the animal.
Please do not go ahead with this. There has to be a better way than just wholesale killing of anything. This type of legislation will also open the door to other similar widespread culls with side effects harming other similar species that are not targeted,
As a Canadian who has worked with wildlife, I am disappointed and disgusted you would formally propose this issue.
