This is a TERRIBLE proposal,…

This is a TERRIBLE proposal, not clearly supported by any evidence or science. It is not even clear that there is a problem of a declining fishery, let alone whether said fishery decline is attributable to cormorants, other wildlife or ecological factors, or human causes. There is no evidence provided to justify a proposed bag limit of 50 birds per day - a ridiculously high number to allow any single license holder, unless the goal of this legislation is to completely eradicate double-crested cormorants from the ecosystem.

Please reject this lazy, unscientific, destructive proposal. Ontario can and must do better than this when it comes to managing wildlife in our care.
