I am stunned by the wrongness of the proposal to eradicate cormorants. To call it a hunting season is inaccurate. You are talking about the destruction of the bird species along with a great deal of disruption and likely death to other bird species during their nesting season, including the Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Common Tern, Caspian Tern, Black-crowned Night Herons, Great Blue Herons, and Great Egrets.
And this is to appease a few fishermen who ignorantly assume the birds are eating their sports fish. Study after study has shown that this is not the case and that the birds eat species of fish of no commercial value.
I cannot believe that people in Ontario, who are mainly compassionate, would condone catering to the worst in our society, people who enjoy killing and are happy to blast babies off their nests.
And I cannot believe we have a government that would truly sanction such barbarism.
Nature will look after itself if only people would leave it alone. Please do not go through with this draconian and unbelievably cruel and destruction act.
Thank you.
