I am very concerned that this proposed hunting season for the double-crested cormorant. In the brief synopsis, it is stated that the population of this bird has stabilized or declined. The groups concerned or bothered by the birds are those with financial interest in seeing their population wiped out. Certainly it is the easy way out, isn't it? Would it not be prudent to do a full population analysis and do further observation to see exactly what kind of an impact the population of the double-crested cormorant is having on other species? Furthermore, the human species is the most destructive of all, and by far the most responsible for the decline in the fish populations, both due to over fishing and to the decline of their environment through pollution and climate change.
Hunting these birds is not an acceptable solution to their overpopulation, if indeed there is truly an overpopulation. I enjoy being out on the water, near the water, and certainly do not want my time to be affected by the worry of hunters out to kill for fun. Not with my tax dollars. This is ridiculous and I expect much more from those who are supposed to be protecting our environment and wildlife.
Very disgusted and disappointed with those who suggest this as a solution. What, is this now America? Guns for all? Out to hunt and kill for fun? Not in my Canada.
