I am opposed to this proposal.

Leave the birds alone and allow natural forces to play. On the Big Rideau osprey and eagles prey on the cormorant chicks.

It is well known that humans are the biggest threat to fish and lakes.

There is no proof that cormorants have a significant impact on the fish population.

Your proposal admits that the cormorant population is stabilizing or dropping. Hands off.

This is not hunting, this is an unnecessary cull. If this proposal is approved, change it and do not allow amateur hunters on our lakes, hire a few select skilled people to do the job correctly, in a very limited fashion, with safeguards in a scientificly evidenced fashion.
