As a recent lakefront Owner…

As a recent lakefront Owner/resident on Lake Nosbonsing (Twp of East Ferris, On.) I personally witnessed the damage this bird does to the eco system. They consistently fed off fingerlings near our dock, depriving other aquatics such as fish, turtles, etc. from their food source. There is also an Island on Lake Nosbpnsing totally devastated by the cormorants. They have taken over many small lakes in the area as well. They need to be reduced significantly and quickly before they are too out of control. I am not a hunter however I am totally in favour of the planned hunt.
