Please consider the following:
The federal goverments Department of Inland Waters in Burlington Ontario back in the 70s did a study and found they did not have an effect on game fish.
These birds have no food value as when cooked the smell of fish is overwhelming and have a extremely fishy taste. I cannot imagine anyone in thier right mind eating them. They will be left to rot where they fall.
Hunters will be allowed to kill them from March to December from the time they migrate back in the spring to the time they leave in December.
This includes killing them while they are on the nest with young. If adults are shot the young will also die.
Daily kill limit is 50 birds per day per hunter.
I can imagine hunters going out to the breeding colonies and sitting in thier boats blasting away.
REMEMBER this is a Politcal Decision Not Based On Science.
You MUST consider this proposal as a ridiculous attempt at placating a very small part of this provinces population.
Thank you
