Many years ago, in Hamilton, a cull was done on SeaGulls, as they were considered a "nuisance" bird.
Upon doing so, the cormorant bird had taken the place of where the seagulls dominated. But it wasn't long, before the cormorant was accused of eating our fish supply meant for other native birds, and fish in the area. The cormorant has been known as Fish Enemy #1.
Humans are the ones who allowed this to happen, and sadly, the innocent cormorant, is now the Bullseye Target.
Killing innocent birds is not an effective way of "cormorant birth control".
It just gives psychopath hunters a reason to get their jollies off killing innocent animals.
There's other ways to correct this, but sadly, most think killing an entire species is the answer. When the lead from the bullets, kill pets, or get into the water supply, poisoning families....maybe THEN people will wake up.
These trigger-happy humans, need to find a new hobby.
