I am against the proposal to establish a hunting season on the double-crested Cormorants in Ontario.

It is completely irresponsible and while it will not address the real reasons for any decline in some fish populations, it will result in pushing the Cormorants back to the endangered status. As studies / surveys have shown the Cormorants do not deplete their own food source. Also allowing for the shot Cormorant to remain where killed only introduces health risks to humans, animals and the environment.

This policy is wrong on so many levels and should not under any circumstances be introduced.

Thank you for opportunity to voice my concern and please listen to the outcry against this policy.
