This is another ridiculous…

This is another ridiculous proposal by a government agency. If we have learned anything over the last 200 years it should be that the interaction of nature are very complex and little understood by humans. Witness the introduction of rabbits in Australia, the phragmites etc. The wholesale slaughter of cormorants to the point of extinction will have unintended and unforeseen consequences. Please rethink this initiative. It is not in our best interest. Mankind must learn to live in harmony with nature. These birds will have natural rise and falls in their numbers. Control their feeding at fish farms and this ready source of food that can artificially raise the brood numbers and let nature take its course.
