I do not support the proposal -- hunting is an activity that has some minor side benefits of controlling large numbers of wildlife -- hunting itself should not be used as a method of controlling species that have no benefit to the hunter -- cormorants fall into that category.

As hunetrs we say that hunting is not responsible for jeopardizing wildlife populations -- this proposal gives the notion that hunters can indeed reduce populations credence. By the way i don't think that hunting cormorants will resuce their populations -- proof? Relaxed regs on Giant Canada Geese in S. Ontario and they taste good.

Hunting as a legitimate activity is already under extreme scrutiny. Killing individuals of excessive populations is exactly that -- killing not hunting. Implementing the killing of nuisance animals by hunters puts hunting itself at further risk.
