I do not believe that…

I do not believe that allowing there to be an open season on double-crested cormorants is a good proposal. The birds declined in population for twenty years and then made a healthy comeback. If there population growth is truly a problem why not wait until nature takes its course and the population declines on its own. If in the future cormorants become a species that very seriously affects other species than the government should take more scientific action. Letting any hunter with a permit shoot fifty cormorants per day is not very scientific or easily controlled. In the write up about the cormorant situation it says that the impact of this proposal will be neutral therefore what is the point, it is a lot easier to take out a population than it is to rebuild it. With so many endangered species is it really so made that a once declining population is now thriving.
