I disagree completely with this proposal! My objections are covered by the well-written article at the link below.

However my basic objections are:
* Cormorants are a native species in Ontario with a right to exist on the Great Lakes
* The proposal by the Ministry is unscientific and has no evidence to back the notion that it will have a 'neutral' impact on the Cormorant population
* It is highly likely that this proposal will have a negative impact on other colony - nesting birds, such as Great Blue Herons and Black-crowned Night Herons
* It is unethical to allow hunters to shoot so many birds with the hunting season lasting the whole of the breeding period, and just leave the carcasses to rot
* It will be detrimental to the bird-watching industry ; bird-watchers will not want to be out when people are shooting at birds from motor boats

I request that the Minister withdraw this proposal in its entirety.
