This is a bad idea and not…

This is a bad idea and not based on scientific information about cormorants. They do not eat sport fish nor the fish eaten by sports fish. They do damage property but so do many other birds. Canada Geese far outnumber cormorants and pollute parks and waterways but they are not included. Too iconic to be included. This is simple discrimination against a not so pretty bird that is finally recovering from our pollution of their environment. I appreciate they won't be shot from January to March when they aren't even in the province! Are the hunters going to respect the ban on lead shot? Lead will not only poison other birds and fish but ultimately will poison us. Nothing in the proposal is worthy of merit.
