I understand that the Environmental Registry plan to designate cormorants as a "game" species so anyone with an outdoors card and a small game license would be allowed to kill up 1500 a month each or 14,000 per year and leave their bodies to rot. This isn't a management program, it's an eradication program. This kind of rule hasn't been seen since the days when passenger pigeons were wiped out 100 years ago.

One could be asking who in their right mind would propose this kind of Draconian change to Ontario's primary wildlife conservation law.

This is outrageous and should be stopped in its tracks. One government cannot decide to wipe out a specie .

If that's the modern benchmark for the Ontario government taking action, not a single animal specie or natural area in the province is safe.

It would be a sad day for Ontario.
