This proposal has been made…

This proposal has been made in part because supposedly the double created cormorants eat too many fish. It's a natural creature, claiming it's eating too many fish is just a convenient scapegoat for our own mismanagement of fish populations. In a world with drastically declining biodiversity and mass extinction, how could you propose to start reducing the population of an animal that's actually thriving.
I would suggest not allowing this hunt at all.
However if it must be proceeded with it because you must appease the glut of fishers and hunters, please allow very, very modest numbers. The idea is to continue to protect a thriving crested cormorant population instead of having yet another animal decimated by our actions.
