The commercial fishing industry's findings should be reviewed, and only properly founded evidence should be used in the deciding process of the details in this proposal.

Yes! Please establish a hunting season for double-crested Cormorants! These fowl are foul creatures wantonly destroying habits wherever they nest, destroying trees and vegetation, polluting lake waters, and gorging on fish. They are a blight on our environment.

I reject this ill thought out proposal for a number of reasons.
1) It is not based on sufficient scientific data and knowledge.
a) current population levels are not known.

I support the culling of the cormorants as they are destroying the environment where they reside and making it impossible for people to enjoy those areas.
Their numbers are too great.
I'm making a comment on the proposal to establish a hunting season for the double crested cormorants in Ontario. The reason this proposal is being made seems to be due to the dwindling populations of fish which is affecting sport and commercial fishing.

It's about time these invasive, nuisance Birds are being addressed. They are causing havoc on our fisheries and polluting our Lakes. They must be controlled and removed from our ecosystem that they destroying.
This proposal is obscene.
1. Allowing a mass slaughter of anything should never be permitted. A 10 month season with no bag limit enables each hunter to take 15,000 birds (50 x 30 x 10). So 100 hunters could take over a million birds. This is a slaughter, not a hunt.

Dear Premier Ford:
Your government's proposal to kill the double crested cormorants allows licensed persons to kill 50 birds per day or 14, 250 for the entire season multiplied by the number of so-called hunters.

It seems to me that allowing a hunter to kill “ 50 birds a day with no annual limit” is totally insane. In addition, the proposed hunting season is far to long and I have no doubt that other species of birds and animals will be adversely affected by this activity.

Allowing hunters to LEAVE cormorant carcasses will add unnecessary pollution to our lakes, rivers, and streams. Allowing hunting throughout the entire summer will also negatively affect outdoor enjoyment of our short summers listening to guns firing all day. Please revise this proposal.
It is limiting on our enjoyment of the outdoor area around our Ontario cottage that hunters shoot game in the fall. We have to curtail hikes and wear safety vests and keep the kids inside.

I am opposed to this proposal for several reasons. The proposal includes no science as justification. Have analyses been done to evaluate the potential effects on cormorants of a 50-bird-per-day limit? Why has this limit (as opposed to others) been proposed?

I am shocked and appalled that Ontario is involved in the killing of these birds. They maybe overpopulated but let nature take it’s course without intervening. Let us be a country that is for protecting our wildlife, instead of being against it.

Highly in favour of a season on these birds. Ruining the landscape and the fisheries. Comments are shared by many of us in this area--East Lake, West Lake and Lake Ontario--Prince Edward County
