I am against this proposal.
Even though cormorants are smelly and kill trees, this is not a reason to shoot them. Nature does not necessarily follow human standards of beauty and we should be wise enough as a species ourselves to look beyond the aesthetics of another species.

As a child I was while leaning to hunt with my parents, I was taught never to shoot anything that I was not going to eat or use for survival, no matter which wild animal on earth a majestic moose or a noisy squirrel they should not be killed just for sport and not put to some use.

This is absolutely outrageous! This will have such a dramatic affect on the ecology of the habitats and is completely unfair to the species! Not only will this result in the extinction of the species but it will also open the door for this to happen to other species as well.
NO, this proposed hunt for Double-crested Cormorant is wrong and a cause for serious concern. This proposal is illogical and discriminatory. If you want to interrupt the ecosystem you are doing a great job. Totally out to lunch, check your facts again. I say NO to this hunt.
I am deeply concerned with this proposal. First off, I do not believe the Double crested Comorants should not be classified as a game bird - I do not believe people have any interest in eating the meat of this bird. Also the time frame and daily alottment are frightening.

This is a bad idea. The cormorant population will adjust itself if it grows beyond its food source. Changing the basis rules about not letting game spoil is a slippery slope you should not start to go down.

This proposal regarding the Double- crested cormorant is not remotely like a hunt. It is a legalized slaughter. These are not game birds. They are not difficult to find or shoot. They do not require stalking or tracking. One does not have to scout out their locations or wait in blinds for them.

Logistically this dose not seem logical to myself. This is a native species and was here long before me. It is definitely not a game bird so should not be hunted in view of this. They like people are striving to survive in a world that people are contaminating and polluting us to extinction.

As a landowner of a Lake Ontario shoreline property in the GTA, a boater, fisherman and general outdoor enthusiast, we have a big problem here. I have observed first hand how the volume of these birds devastate the environment.

I strongly object to shooting birds. I think finally bird population finally improved to natural levels and we are going to eliminate them. It’s a shame. Canada geese is a messy bird. Are they going to be next? Live and let live.
From what I understand , cormorant populations on our Great Lakes system, including Lake Nipissing, are stabilizing or in a slight decline after rebounding; cormorant diets include about 2% game fish; and that disrupting them at nesting sites as they prepare to nest, which landowners can legally do
