This issue needs a LOT more research. It seems to be a wildly irresponsible concept with no obvious means of control or follow-up. Firstly, if these birds are native to North America and to Ontario, we should be researching why there is a population explosion in the first place. Secondly, no native species should be decimated to allow for more successful"sport" fishing. Enough already. If this is an issue of a native species impacting largely sport fishing, which comes down to money, then come out and say it and see if there's another solution. I'm not saying some sort of balancing may be required, but surely we can find a more ethical and responsible way of doing so.
