I do not support the hunting…

I do not support the hunting/killing of this native bird, the cormorant, for the reasons given in this proposal.

Even if one supports sport hunting as an activity that provides food, this proposal doesn't cut it. What is the sport in killing for killing’s sake? How many native species have been eliminated by those who falsely believe that human intervention is better than nature's way of controlling animal populations?

Surely in the year 2019 we can find ways to live within nature without seeking to kill any animal that is deemed unsightly or a "nuisance". No thinking government authority should consider sanctioning such a short-sighted, thoughtless proposal. Surely the Ministry of the Environment of Ontario should be interested in conserving our natural environment, not destroying it.
