Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a resident in the 1000 Islands. Too many islands have already been ruined by the Cormorants and it is time to approve the hunting of these birds. I am totally in favour of deeming them too be game birds. Not only do these birds destroy landscapes and vegetation with their feces, I am led to believe that they also eat their weight every day in young fish. It has gotten to the point where we don't even see otters any more and they used to be plentiful. There is still time to save the natural fish and the wildlife that depend on the fish population in the St. Lawrence river and region. As far as I know these birds are not truly native to our geographical location but have adapted well at our expense due to the fact that they have no natural enemies here. They are just too plentiful and need to be managed and that means thinning their numbers.

Sincerely,

L****e L******sse

P.S. I am not a hunter myself but support the many who are and live in this area.
