Please reconsider this proposal pending further study of the effects of a decision that would have far reaching ramifications for not only our local native species of wildlife but the human communities as well. Lire davantage

The Ontario government’s proposal will allow individuals with a small game license to kill up to 50 cormorants per day. That works out to approximately 1,500 cormorants per month or up to 14,250 cormorants for the entire proposed annual hunting season. Lire davantage

I am writing to ask you to reconsider the wholesale slaughter of double breasted cormorants, a species indigenous to Ontario. As I understand it, there are only about 125 000 individuals of this native bird left in Ontario. Lire davantage

To review the salient facts: this hunting proposal is scientifically baseless. The proposal to allow a 50 cormorant per day bag limit for hunters means that if only 1 in 100 Ontarian hunters each killed 50 cormorants over *an entire year*, this would result in about 350,000 dead cormorants.

I am vehemently opposed to the simplistic attitude you are taking towards the cormorant population. I believe you to be acting not based on proper scientific and biological evidence but on heresay and uneducated, selfish people's incidental views. The cormorants are not a large population.

This has all the makings of a very bad idea. Just like the seals were blamed for the declining cod population, but in fact was due to overfishing, the annihilation of a bird species will not resolve the problem. Nature balances herself. Killing is a old barbaric idea witch is out of date! Lire davantage

Please reject the proposed cormorant hunt in its entirety. Allowing such a high number of birds to be killed per hunter, per day, and over such a long season, means that just one person could potentially kill 14,600 cormorants in a year. It is not possible to manage such a hunt sustainably. Lire davantage

We need to reverse the devastation of this invasive species has caused. We need to help our fisheries and not hurt them. In this step we will be taking a positive foot forward making a open season to promote our fisheries. I support the hunting of cormorants.

Please reject the proposed hunt. For decades, Ontario has managed natural resources to ensure that any hunting is humane and sustainable. Allowing one hunter to kill 50 birds per day (up to 14,600 per year in the proposed 292-day hunting season) is neither humane nor sustainable. Lire davantage

This proposal is totally unjustified on scientific grounds based as it is on anecdotal information with no substantiated factual evidence to support it. Lire davantage

Don't do this. This proposal will set a precedent whereby, for the first time ever in the history of Canadian game management, it will be legal to allow game to be wasted. Hunters will be allowed to shoot from stationary boats in cottage country, even during the height of summer tourism. Lire davantage

I am against the plans to allow for the widespread hunting of cormorants in Ontario. The proposal strikes me as wildly excessive and ecologically unsound.

There must be other less drastic measures to accomplish the decreasing of the population. Also, with decreasing this species, it will have a ripple effect on other species. Lire davantage

Cormorants serve a natural, beneficial, ecological function and, because they are largely concentrated in just a few areas, are extremely vulnerable. After nearly being wiped out on two previous occasions, their modest numbers have now stabilized in some areas, while in others, they are dropping. Lire davantage
