Destruction of green space,killing of trees and stench from the waste of these birds is only a small part of the problem.These ever increasing flocks of birds are ruining Ontario fish stocks across our province.I’m an avid angler of many species and the voracious appetite of these fish eating machines is gobbling up tax funded fish stocks.
Eg.The Ontario and New York State stocking program for Lake Ontario trout and salmon costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.With the cooperation of volunteers and ministries from both countries.Every spring the small salmon that have been raised and cared for all winter to enhance the Lake Ontario sport fishery ends up being a feeding program for Cormorants.
The Sportfishing industry on Lake Ontario is of great benefit economically.Tourism in Ontario has also seen the positive affect of a healthy fish populated Lake Ontario.
