As someone who cares deeply…

As someone who cares deeply about every living being on this earth I am horrified that my government would allow mindless extermination of any species, in this case the cormorants. To kill for sport is unethical and immoral. Humans are the only species that continue to systematically exterminate other living beings for selfish egoic reasons with no sense of its impact on ourselves or the health of our ecosystems which sustain us here on earth. This proposed legislation is shameful and, if allowed to proceed, will rob our children and grandchildren of the joys of watching the cormorants fly, fish, and dry their wings. We need to be teaching them how to live in harmony with nature, not how to destroy it. It will cause unnecessary harm to innocent creatures of beauty. What we do unto others we do to ourselves. There is absolutely no excuse or argument that could provide valid reasoning for passing of this proposed legislation. It is a crime against humanity and the natural world that it’s even being proposed. I hope you will, with love in your heart, with consideration of your children and grandchildren, respect and gratitude for nature, and the connectedness of all living things - vote NO to legalized hunting of comorants. Thank you!
