The Cormorant hunt policy is…

The Cormorant hunt policy is being put in place without any scientific data to support it.

Duck hunters are not likely to waste time and ammunition on a species that is inedible. Those shooting cormorants may include some yahoos who enjoy shooting at things.

I am very concerned that Loons will be shot by error or carelessness, iconic birds that also swim low in the water and have long, slender necks and flattish heads.

If a scientific study shows that Cormorant populations have indeed grown to unmanageable sizes, a program of greasing eggs on the nest prevents hatching. We can have control without people shooting at them and adding more lead into the environment.

Thank you.
