Comment
This proposal is totally unjustified on scientific grounds based as it is on anecdotal information with no substantiated factual evidence to support it. It will permit the legal eradication of the double-crested cormorant population in Ontario, which is stable and in fact, declining naturally in some areas. It will also permit the legal slaughter of breeding pairs and their offspring.
The proposal to establish an indiscriminate hunting season of about 9 months a year for double-crested cormorants in Ontario allowing the carcasses to rot is reminiscent of 19th century exterminating practices that have no place in our environmental or ecological world today.
I respectfully request this unacceptable proposal be withdrawn.
