I believe it's outrageous to conduct this mass culling of the double breasted commoronts. Especially because in the past while their numbers were dwindling, MNR thought to revive the species by creating habitat and laws to help revive them. Now, just because the number of commoronts have grown and probably due to bad stewardship that MNR believe it is time to reduce their numbers, it seems outrageous to slaughter them. I am certain their are more humane ways to reduce their numbers. I suppose one of the ways maybe to introduce natural predators in to their environment and find other ways to disrupt their growth. Culling commoronts by shooting them enmasse would not only kill them but would leave many injured and stress the remaining stock. I suggest more time and forethought go in to this.
Thanks,
