I am opposed to the hunting of cormorants as a population control measure.

Reclassifying cormorants as game birds so they can be hunted (with the bag limit of 50/day/hunter) seems to me to be a license to wantonly kill and waste those birds.

If population control is warranted (and that needs to be clearly shown through monitoring) there are other more humane methods.

I have read arguments for and against this proposal and and am very much against it.
