I think the cormorant…

I think the cormorant hunting proposal is a terrible thing.

Just because something is flourishing now you want to wipe them out? It seems like if even one person kills 50 every day for so many months it won't take long for all the cormorants to be gone.

If people start blasting away in nesting colonies that's going to cause a lot of damage. I can only imagine how many baby birds would starve to death after their parents are killed.

From everything I've read, there is no evidence that the birds compete with commercial fishing.

How can a native species be considered detrimental to fish populations, island forest habitats, other species and aesthetics? They are just doing what they are meant to do. They don't have a choice and shouldn't be killed because of it.

Once again human-idiocy rears its ugly head when we should be embracing the stable population of cormorants. Some people won't be happy until everything is on the endangered list.
