I am OPPOSED to this proposal for a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario for the following reasons: (1) The proposal is practically a slaughter, because the length of the hunting season is almost the entire year, and each hunter could kill an extremely large number of birds. (2) The proposal is not environmentally sensible since it would allow hunters to leave the bird carcasses on the ground to rot. (3) The rationale for the proposal is not sound. People always want to blame animals for fish numbers declining. The human causes need to be studied and addressed.
