Hello, I'm writing to voice my displeasure with the proposal to initiate a hunting season for Cormorants. First, it's dangerous to enable hunters to shoot at these birds from a boat in the water as people walking on land could get injured or killed as a result. It also doesn't make sense to extend the hunting season into the birds' nesting season as nests and baby birds can be impacted as a result which is a severe and cruel animal welfare violation. Finally, the lack of a limit on possession will make enforcement of the proposed bag limit and carcass recovery provisions very difficult. I hope you will reconsider this proposal given the harsh public sentiment towards it that has risen in opposition to it. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments.
