I disagree with with the proposal which would allow the double crested cormorants to be recognized as a gaming bird and thus allow it to be hunted.

Although many disagree with using this method to control the cormorants, it would appear it is going to be pushed through anyway. I offer these concerns:
1) The danger to the public is high:
There are good reasons to not shoot from a boat.

This legislation is long over due. The Cormorant population is overwhelming both the natural environment (trees, shorelines, etc.) and the fish populations.

Although I agree that the double crested cormorant competes successfully with other fish eating species and needs to be controlled, I strongly disagree with the proposed dates of the hunting season.

Dear Minister Yakabuski ,

As a Ontario resident, tax-payer, and someone with a love and appreciation for the natural world I am deeply opposed to the proposed hunting season for the double-breasted cormorant in Ontario.

While culling the population may make sense, the bag limit is far too high. Not to mention what's the joy in shooting an inedible bird sitting in a tree? Find another way please.

After reviewing your proposal I believe that all effects of the killing of these adult cormorants has not been considered. One issue is the babies that will be left alone after someone has shot their mother. Another thing that has to be questioned is all the remains of these killed birds.

I am concerned that this proposed bill is"overkill"- excuse the pun. While I recognize that the cormorants may be a nuisance in some areas, I do not think an open season on these birds, as the bill proposes, is a good idea: These birds were historically far more numerous than they are today.

They are over populated, harmful to our fisheries and ecology in general with their droppings killing small islands . I draw my drinking water from a river with these birds nearby.

We are located in northeastern ontario and these cormorants are plentiful on every lake. We have stocked many local lakes with walleye fingerlings just to see them get devoured by this predator.

Allow hunting of Cormorants. Give hunters flexibility in regards to daily and bag limits. Other than maybe Lake of the Woods, these seem to be invasive species.

You people are supposed to be protecting our wildlife and so far all you are doing is ruining our environment and protecting the interests of big business. Hunting should not be allowed on any of our wild species. It is a cruel and unnecessary practice!!

I completely disagree with this change in policy. Shooting cormorants is not hunting, it is wanton killing. Hunting involves using the animal for food or clothing. The possession limit of 50 is far too high.
