I just came across this…

I just came across this upcoming proposal and conviently the period to make a comment is during the Christmas holidays.
The mass killing of Cormorants is wrong. The killing of these birds will damage the environment and disrupt the natural ecosystem processes.
Cormorants are not overabundant, their numbers are now stabilized.
The complaints that are being made by a small group of fishermen supported by special interest groups. There is no substantive body of scientific evidence that support their decision.
Attention should be given to the issues that actually affect the fish populations and aquatic environments. Such as climate change, pollution, shoreline and habitat destruction and over fishing and other range of issues.
There are also safety issues where hunters are permitted to discharge firearms during spring summer and fall when tourist and cottages are a plenty.
The proposed “hunt” will cause unimaginable cruelty by allowing the slaughter of Cormorants across the province.
