The idea of hunting 50…

The idea of hunting 50 cormorants at a time is preposterous.
The animals are likely in the area due to habitat disruptions or climate
disruptions elsewhere. and killing them where they seek refuge may cause
enormous environmental degradation over a much larger area both in Canada and
in the US. We cannot assume this population will simply remain in place.
There is not enough data to suggest this will remain as a fixed population of
birds.

It is known that the area between Adirondacks and Algonquin is the largest
land connectivity we have with the US. It is understood that with climate
events animals will move north so it is not reasonable to cull them with the
absence of info to show where these birds are from our headed to.
Furthermore, the hunting will have deleterious impacts on area sensitive
species of birds and it will serve to spread lead shots all throughout the
areas where hunting is permitted which could prove fatal to other wildfowl
and predatory birds. Birds die when they ingest lead shots. It's a form of
environmental pollution that lasts for years.
I object to this plan. It lacks reasonable merit and the entire concept
should be scrapped.
