This hunting proposal is scientifically baseless. The proposal to allow a 50 cormorant per day bag limit for hunters means that if only 1 in 100 Ontarian hunters each killed 50 cormorants over *an entire year*, this would result in about 350,000 dead cormorants. The entire Great Lakes population is only 250,000 birds and the global population is only 2 million. DCCs are native species to ON and have just recently recovered from poisoning, hunting, and habitat degradation of the last century.

PLEASE do not allow this hunt to occur. Ford seems to be trying to fashion himself after Trump and his hunting sons. Let reason and compassion prevail and prevent this hunt.
