Please reconsider your…

Please reconsider your proposed law allowing the slaying of a native species, the Double-Crested Cormorants. This plan could wipe them out, along with other related species. I have seen the damage these birds have done in certain areas of high colony numbers, but controlling numbers and allowing this law to go through are night and day. I do not know the solution, but believe this route is wrong. Please listen to naturalists and scientists and withdraw what you have established as a hunting season on Double-Crested Cormorants in Ontario. I am a resident of and have lived in Ontario my whole life and try to see the big picture. They are not my favourite bird and I can see and understand those that support you, but when I step back to see the results of your proposal, it is a wipe out and destruction of a species, like the Passenger Pigeon. We, as people, are better than that. Do not repeat history or it will become your legacy. It is not too late for you to re-evaluate and stop this proposal; please and thank you!
