I am outraged that yet again the government wants to solve a problem by taking the easy way out and allowing a native animal to be hunted and killed.

"The government's hunting proposal is gratuitous, irresponsible, and cruel," says researcher Dr. Edward Kroc, speaking about Ontario.

The University of B.C professor debunks excuses used to propose an eradication program of Double-crested Cormorants. He writes:
"The Government of Ontario's current proposal to introduce an open hunting season on Double-crested Cormorants from March 15 to December 31 each year has no basis in scientific knowledge and neglects the interests of a wide variety of citizens who interact with wildlife without killing them. This document offers a critique of the government's proposal while citing the relevant scientific knowledge. Often-repeated concerns by some hunters and recreational anglers that cormorants negatively impact fish populations, forest habitat, and other species have been thoroughly qualified or debunked. Notably, lethal management of waterbirds does not address the root causes of fish population instability or decline, and directly contradicts current conservation measures at local, regional, national, and international levels.
The government's hunting proposal is gratuitous, irresponsible, and cruel."

Humans are the most destructive species on the planet and sadly no superior being gets the luxury of deciding to kill us all. Why are we doing that to other beings? This government needs to evolve and stop killing animals.
