I am opposed to this legislation.

Cormorants are not game birds; nobody wants to eat them. They are integral to our environment. A host of other species, especially beetles, rely on the activities of the cormorants for their own survival. The beetles come in when the cormorants move on to another nesting site. Allowing annihilation of a species is not preserving our environment. Allowing for shooting these birds puts all of us, who like to be in and around water, at risk of being shot.
