In my opinion I believe that people shouldn’t have the right to hunt the double-crested cormorants. Having a bag limit of 50/day and no possession limit would make the populations decline significantly. Even though the cormorants are disturbing the fish populations along with island forest habitats, I still don’t think that humans should have the right to say which species should be extirpated from Ontario. The cormorant populations right now are not super low but also not super high, if people were to hunt the double-crested cormorants, there would be a significant population decrease. In a recent study from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Cormorants are dying in Toronto because of a sickness. The current population is estimated to be between 60,000-70,000 individuals which isn’t great, and the populations are deceasing just from nature. I believe that people shouldn’t have the right to hunt the double-crested cormorants.
