OK, I tried to do this in a way that identified me, but the website and its link defeated me.

So, anonymously, a hunting season for Double-crested cormorants is a dreadful idea. Many reasons, starting with killing wildlife to no purpose except excitement for the hunter is immoral. More personally, I spend a great deal of time outdoors near water to pursue my proclivities as a wannabe field naturalist. Gunfire during such a lengthy hunting season would spook non-target wildlife and imperil me. And there is no convincing argument that a vast slaughter of this bird species would somehow make the natural environment a better place.

Please do not follow through on this proposal. I'm late in commenting because I just found out about it from a field naturalist organization. Had I known earlier, my MLA would certainly have heard from me.
