I am in favour of the proposed changes to regulations surrounding double-crested cormorants; however, I have 3 primary points that I feel should be considered.

The need to reduce the numbers is obvious the small islands they live on in cottage country no longer have any vegetation on them and are covered with crap . Each bird eat at least one pound of fish every day and they don’t have a preference and eat tons off game fish each year.

I for one totally disagree with this proposed bill.....none of it makes any sense, and besides which i actually love seeing cormorants around our area....we live on Cape Breton Island, near Baddeck and the sight of these interesting birds, drying their wings out on the water, is a lovely sight!

I heartily urge Premier Doug Ford and his government to oppose the proposal to list Double-Crested Cormorants as game birds. As well, I urge the government to not create a hunting season for these birds. There is no need to kill these migratory birds, and I am very disturbed by this proposal.

As someone who cares deeply about every living being on this earth I am horrified that my government would allow mindless extermination of any species, in this case the cormorants. To kill for sport is unethical and immoral.

Open season to eradicate these birds as they do nothing but deplete our natural resources.
My suggestions to make it more tolerable for those that have no realisation on what this species can do is as follows;
Bag limit "no"
Season timing and length "no"

I am fine with a hunting season for cormorants.
I do not support cormorant extinction, putting lives at risk, or destroying the pleasure of summer for millions of people!

Please do not proceed with this action. The research does not support this as a solution. It is short-sighted and serves only a certain segment of the population (human). Surely we have learned that interference in the eco- balance leads only to disaster.

I would like to register my strong objection to this proposal. My main concern is that there is no scientific proof that the extremely high bag limits proposed are at all sustainable.

I think it's a great idea to finally try and lower the population of these birds. As an avid fisherman I have seen to much destruction from these birds taking over an area and killing everything in its path.

I am very concerned about why this is even being considered. Yes, I know there are a few areas where cormorants are a problem, but why not a controlled cull in those areas rather than wholesale slaughter?

I strongly approve of this proposal for the hunting of double crested cormorants as they are destroying trees in our area while they are nesting and feeding on the fish in our area lakes. Their population has been increasing steadily over the past few years and needs to be controlled.
I believe that a cormorant cull is the wrong thing to do. The cormorants are a natural part of this environment. If they are killed off on a large scale, this will upset the natural balance of the area. Why do some people want to kill them off? OK, they kill the trees in their colonies.
