I don't believe that this proposal will lead to any significant benefits to the people of Ontario and will lead to unregulated disposal of cormorant carcasses. Comorants will be shot and carcasses will be left in situ as cormorants, unlike geese or ducks, will not be used as food but will be shot solely for sport. The scientific data does show some need for cormorant control but a bag limit of 50 per hunter is completely unacceptable. I do not support this as many hunters shoot cormorants in areas that are not easily accessible due to the areas that cormorants nest and will most likely not extract carcasses.
