The proposal to allow the hunting of double-crested cormorants is misinformed and dangerous. The population of these birds is stable and non-threatening. The limits suggested could cause the extinction of the species in Ontario, not to mention potential harm to species that share the same habitat.
A limit of 50 birds per day per hunter would only invite anyone with a gun to shoot indiscriminately at any bird on the water, killing not just an inordinate number of cormorants but also other birds and animals within range.
Additionally, these birds are not edible, meaning that they would only be shot for the pleasure of killing, not conservation since they are not a threat to the environment.
