I oppose opening a season to hunt double crested cormorants for the following reasons:
1) Cormorants are a natural part of the Ontario Fauna. Messy fish eating birds are also present and abundant in many other areas of the world.
2) Cormorants have not been demonstrated to cause significant harm to Ontario fisheries.
3) Allowing hunting at nesting colonies will harm reproduction of other bird species nesting with cormorants.
4) I like seeing cormorants and living in a province with abundant populations of native birds. However, I would support reducing populations of some game species currently causing harm to habitats and people due to overabundance like white-tailed deer and Canada goose.
