I am writing to ask you to reconsider this proposal.
This is an outright slaughter of a species- one hunter could kill 1500 birds a month, or over 13,000 birds during the proposed season. How do you monitor the limit? If the birds are not retrieved, there is nothing stopping someone from shooting hundreds in a day.
Will cottagers appreciate having someone shooting near their property? How about the carcasses being left to rot where they fall, the smell, the scavengers that will be attracted? What will be the plan for dealing with these scavengers, as the numbers of scavengers is sure to increase with the abundance of food. More slaughter?
The proposed hunt would also take place over breeding season. Are other species not protected during breeding season? Why are they proposing to allow this hunt thru the breeding season?
This proposal is far too aggressive, and there must be a more moderate method if in fact we really need to interfere with nature (which usually takes care of itself)
