I vehemently oppose a recent Environmental Registry of Ontario posting which announced that the Government is seeking input on a proposed change to the province’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act that will: allow the wholesale, uncontrolled, impossible to monitor, slaughter of cormorants across the province, devastate and possibly eradicate a recovered native wildlife species, cause damaging levels of disturbance and the destruction of numerous non-target bird species, irreparably damage natural ecosystems, encourage the worst form of “slob hunting,” endanger the public by allowing shooting throughout the summer season when lakes and natural areas are populated by Ontario residents and tourists.

The Ontario government proposal is not a wildlife management program, it's an eradication plan that will push cormorants back to brink of extinction in the province.
