Strongly opposed to proposed establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario!
It really sounds like an authorization to exterminate a native species that is annoying to some people.
It is not a proposal for a sustainable hunt: the meat is not edible and the proposed (absurdly high) bag limit and (extremely long) hunting season would allow one individual to kill 14,600 cormorants a year. I cannot find any other hunted bird with such a high bag limit or long hunting season.
The proposed hunting season includes the spring and the summer – hunting does not happen during this time! The safety of other people enjoying the outdoors in spring and summer is not being considered in this proposal.
And “aesthetics” is certainly not a good argument to justify a cull. It is not a conservation-based argument and is extremely suggestive. Again, this seems to like an authorization for extermination that will please a few annoyed landowners.
Strongly opposed.
