I am extremely against and…

I am extremely against and angry about the proposed hunting season on Double Crested Cormorants.

This is an inhumane, "free for all", slaughter of a bird that has already once came back from seriously low numbers.

Do the Hunters and Anglers and property owners of Ontario who are supporting this, really have to stoop so low as to think they should control yet another species of wildlife inconveniently in their path? When does the killing end and we begin to share the abundance of Natural Resources we already possess with other living beings. When do the wildlife get to just live in peace and do what they are meant to do on this earth. SURVIVE.

I am ashamed to live in Ontario with this New Conservative Government that disregards our environment and caters to those groups and individuals who have nothing but their own selfish ideals about an environment that belongs to everyone including the wildlife that live amongst us.

I am sick at the thought of what this kind of cruelty and total disregard for life means for the Cormorant as well as many other species of birds that will be shot out of the sky, water and nesting sites for sheer pleasure and target practice.

I am hopeful that this review and petitions signed by thousands of passionate people for wildlife will be enough to stop this horrendous policy from happening.
