I am concerned about this proposal regarding hunting double breasted cormorants.
First, cormorants share nesting grounds with other animals, including great blue and green herons and great egrets, so hunting puts these and other birds and their nests at risk.
Secondly, shooting from a stationary boat is dangerous and difficult. Ever tried to photograph birds from a boat? Not without risk.
Thirdly, Chantry Island in Lake Huron is a designated Migratory Bird Sanctuary and must be exempt from any proposed hunting near its shores.
I urge the Environmental Registry to weigh this matter very carefully before going ahead.
