Hello,
I was horrified to read about the cormorant cull legislation.

Though I live in an area where the numbers have increased somewhat they do not cause much of a problem. Nature will sort out any over-population - there are often surges and declines in many species.

The suggestion to permit a 'hunter' to kill 50 a day is quite over-the-top.

My suggestion would be not to pass any legislation at the moment, but to monitor the situation for 2 years and see if there is a natural decrease.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
