I strongly oppose the proposed changes for the hunting regulations on the Double-crested Cormorant and I oppose these changes for obvious reasons. The first reason as to why I disagree with the proposed changes is because there is a slight decline in the Double-crested Cormorant population. I really don’t understand why there is a potential possibility of hunting regulations being put on top of a species that is already declining without the help of seasonal hunters. Another obvious reason as to why I oppose the possible proposal change is because these animals stink and are mainly considered to be “inedible”. I find it extremely disturbing to know that there is a potential possibility that the Fish and Wildlife Act may “lift” a law which normally prohibits hunters from allowing the meat on the carcass to spoil. I do not agree with this potential decision as it allows the lives of innocent animals be killed and their bodies to be wasted. If this proposal does succeed to change the hunting regulations for the Double-crested Cormorant, I strongly believe that the bag limit should be decreased significantly. I also believe that ALL the game animals, including the Double-crested Cormorant, should NEVER killed and left to spoil. Therefore, I strongly oppose the proposed changes for the hunting regulations on the Double-crested Cormorant.
