It is alarming to know that the Ontario government has decided to allow the hunting of double-crested cormorants, with no scientific justification for this massacre. Is the Ontario government making policy decisions without any factual basis? Lire davantage

As a scientific researcher, I have some comments to add and take into consideration when proposing a hunting season for double-crested cormorants. Lire davantage

I strongly oppose the proposal to allow hunting of cormorants in Ontario. There is absolutely no need to cull these birds, who are native to the Great Lakes. Their population has increased due to pesticide bans and is levelling off. Lire davantage

I disagree with your proposed Cormorant hunt. Proposed Cormorant hunting season is too long (should not be during nesting season!) and number of kills permitted per day is too high.

On behalf of our club, I want to state that we strongly oppose the proposal to hunt cormorants as a game bird. The proposal is cruel, unnecessary, and not based on any rational research studies. Lire davantage

I wanted to express my opposition to a hunt of cormorants that would take place during their breeding season. This would have a negative impact on not only cormorants, but other nesting birds as well.

1- claimed benefits are not supported by evidence or quanititative arguments 2- significant harm (collateral damage to other species/nesting areas) is likely Lire davantage

Cormorants deserve better than this. How would you feel if you were accused of murder, with no evidence to prove it? This is what "some groups" are doing to these birds. While I am not saying they do not cause damage in some areas, I am saying that there should not be a province wide hunting law. Lire davantage

The open season should be the same for the whole province with no exceptions. The MNRF likes to make the regulations confusing so that hunters and anglers get so upset that there is no happy medium.

As an amateur ornithologist, migratory bird rescue volunteer with FLAP Canada, and regular Ebird contributor as a citizen scientist, I am completely against this proposal to allow the indiscriminate killing of Cormorants, even right through their breeding season. Lire davantage

There is no substantive body of evidence proving that cormorants are depleting fish stocks or causing any ecological problems whatsoever. They benefit biodiversity, they help generate healthy fish populations and should be considered a integral component of Ontario’s natural heritage. Lire davantage

I really question why we need a hunting season for cormorants and doubt that there is good scientific studies to back up this proposal. When are we going to learn to let the ecosystem restore its own balance and stop interfering. Lire davantage

A cormorant hunting season can be consistent with responsible management of the species, however I have a few suggestions to improve the proposed legislation based on my experience as a hunter in New Brunswick, where cormorant hunting is legal, and as a biologist. Lire davantage

The proposed cormorant hunt should not move forward. I want to continue to see these magnificent birds around Ottawa and other areas in Ontario. Their ecological impact does not justify the killing of 50 cormorants per day by a single person during the hunting season.

Cormorants are not game birds and should not be classifed as such. Leaving their shot bodies to rot is unpleasant, smelly and the shot itself mostly detrimental to the environment. The disturbance of other nesting water birds is uncalled for and also detrimental to the environment.

I disagree with this proposal. I do not see any scientific evidence that supports the killing of cormorants. Thousands of birds will be killed unnecessarily, only to satisfy hunters and anglers. Many birds will not be killed outright and will be left to suffer. Lire davantage

I am very disappointed that Ontario is thinking about establishing a hunting season for Double Crested Cormorants. These birds have recovered from very low populations and we need more time for their numbers to stabilize in harmony with other birds and with their predators. Lire davantage

I am appalled by this short sited and cruel proposal. As a taxpayer and one of the 'people' your government is supposedly working for, I demand that you stop this process at least until you can provide proper scientific facts to back it up. Lire davantage
