I will confess I am not a hunter, so am not aware of the 'usual' procedures in a population cull.

However, I am alarmed by the extent of the proposed Cormorant killing.

50 Cormorants per day sounds excessive.
Nesting parents is not acceptable, therefore the March 15 to Dec 31 season is inappropriate.
Carcasses rotting???

It all sounds so offensive and violent.

Are there not any other options such as relocating some of the population, as has been done with the Canada Geese in the past, or somehow euthanizing some of the population to diminish the numbers.

I would like to know what other options have been considered, ruled out, and why.

I do appreciate this opportunity to comment and hope many others also do so.
