Please abandon the Government of Ontario's proposal to introduce an open hunting season on Double-crested Cormorants from March 15 to December 31. It has no basis in scientific knowledge and neglects the interests of a wide variety of citizens who interact with wildlife without killing it.

I request as a Canadian citizen, Ontario resident, taxpayer and voter, that the Government of Ontario reject the "Proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario".

I believe there is a need to enforce some manner of population control for this species. I have witnessed the sheer numbers of these birds in our waterways, first hand. They are extremely voracious eaters, staying submerged for up to 80 minutes at at time; all the while eating everything they can.

Hello, as an island owner on a lake in northern Ontario i ask you to please approve a hunting season on these birds. They have devasted one island on our lake already and are moving slowly to others. They have also cut the fish stocks in half inside 5yrs. Please help
I strongly object to the proposed hunting season on double crested cormorants. There is no scientific justification for controlling the population of cormorants, which are native to Ontario.

This is just wrong. Allowing hunters to kill these beautiful birds and leave their carcasses is abhorrent. Stop the killing now. I beg you do not pass this bill.
I think that our lakes are surviving but not exactly thriving. I personally think that the double crested cormorant is a large part of it. I would vote for open season on them, but I believe there should bag limits.

Unfortunately, Double Crested Cormorants have become more productive than some people would like to see but that does not mean they should now become hunted. I am for letting nature take its own course of balance without more human interference.

I absolutly support an open season on cormorants. They are devastating to native fish populations, and the enviroment. A decrease in numbers is crucial in order to sustain healthy fisheries for future generations.
Incredible to think we are starting 2019 and nothing has changed since humans wiped out Carrier Pigeons. How can we eradicate an entire species for the pleasure of a few "sportsmen"? If you can't retrieve your kill and have it for dinner then leave it alone.

I do not support this proposal to allow hunting of cormorants in Ontario. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that this is an environmentally sound practice.
Bag limit "no"
Season timing and length "no"
Disposal of carcasses "retrieve and remove"
Are additional management efforts required? "Oil eggs and nest
I am very much against the proposed hunt. Cormorants are an important part of the ecosystem and legislating such an all out slaughter could have unknown consequences.

I am very disappointed that Ontario is considering this. The double-crested cormorant is not an edible game bird and it often nests close to other birds who will be disturbed and perhaps be accidentally killed.
