I really question why we…

I really question why we need a hunting season for cormorants and doubt that there is good scientific studies to back up this proposal. When are we going to learn to let the ecosystem restore its own balance and stop interfering.

If there must be a hunting season for cormorants then it should not cover either the nesting season nor the summer recreational season. The nesting season is a time when all species are vulnerable. Unless the hidden objective of this proposal is to wipe out all cormorants then the hunt must not be allowed in the spring. Allowing hunting from boats during the time of year when the people of Ontario can get outside to enjoy water-based recreation is just asking for a disaster. All a hunter has to do is aim at a low-flying cormorant and the bullet goes astray hitting a recreational boater or swimmer.

Please give this proposal serious reconsideration.
