I strongly oppose this proposal. The actual proposal does not produce an evidence-based problem diagnosis that directly correlates apparent commercial fish stock reductions to Cormorants anymore than to other causes - predation by other fish, over fishing, habitat loss and pollution. The proposed hunt is unethical in construct and will attract exactly the wrong type of hunters. As a taxpayer and outdoorsman I am extremely disappointed in MNR leadership and policy unit - this is DDT- era dumb policy making in my opinion. MNR should stand down this proposal to slaughter Cormorants and disrupt other species including people as there is no sound evidence presented to support a cull. What next - Loons?
Thanks for considering my views. I am also making them known to Premier and cab ministers, DM of MNR and my MP And MPP in writing.
