This is a misleading…

This is a misleading proposal, affecting the environment of the Great Lakes and their watersheds. It should be referred to the International Joint Commission on the Great Lakes. The proposal claims to be for population management but management implies considering possible positive and negative results. This proposal ignores the detrimental effect on the population of the double-crested cormorants, and it has no positive effect, as the population is just managing to rise to a more healthy level, which this proposal puts at risk. The fact that the proposal even allows for hunters to kill the birds and allow them to rot in significant quantities because they don't even want them, would have a negative effect on the ecosystem, and is incredibly irresponsible.
