The proposal has serious flaws that would be detrimental to the ecosystem and would undermine responsible conservation practices. Neither the proposal not the conjecture of its proponents is supported by any scientific evidence. Read more

This proposal to allow essentially unlimited hunting of cormorants is complete over-kill. It's taking a sledge hammer approach when there are much simpler ways to carry out a cull - assuming one is needed. Read more

Do not kill these birds. NO Cull! If there is a problem, then find some way to support the birds and vegetation Obviously there are not enough places for these birds to live, so create more safe wild areas for wildlife All hunting and trapping of animals needs to be made illegal !

Let's shoot all the mute swans so as to make more room for trumpeters which are native. Let's see how that goes over. Do we not have any biologists with half a brain working for our government. Or do they just listen to the multitude of morons to get votes. Read more

I do not want to see a cull on any species native to our Great Lakes. Especially one that doesn’t include a limit to the number of animals a hunter can kill. This is reckless and puts the bird population at risk, along with other birds who may be impacted inadvertently. Read more

Once again, somebody in high places had a good idea and decided to exterminate Cormorants without even giving a thought to the consequences, and put the general public at risk of receiving a nice bullet while vacationing. Please reconsider that decision. Thank you

Addressing the Problem with this invasive species is long overdue. Although I am an environmentalist this destructive species does not seem to have a natural predator controlling their numbers. The hunt creates an opportunity to control the problem

I am a member of an internet fishing and outdoors Forum and I conducted a "Poll" amongst our members. The "Poll" illustrated the proposal on Cormorant hunting and asked the question as follows: Are you in favour of the proposal, YES or NO? There 136 responses. Read more

No. Just no. We humans have to stop meddling with nature. If the cormorant feces is killing the vegetation, well so be it. Maybe that's what is supposed to happen. Nature ebbs and falls. Stop playing God and deciding over other living things' fate.

I have carefully read and considered your proposal. There is no impact statement of the consequences of the hunt either directly or to other birds nesting or associated with them such as gulls or various diving ducks, loons or grebes. Read more

Dear Sirs/Madam, I always thought and was disgusted with the Liberal's decisions regarding the environment and wildlife but your Conservative Government in establishing a slaughter on the Cormorants absolutely crosses the line and beyond. Read more

I am strongly opposed to this change for the following reasons: (1) listing the double-crested cormorant as a "game bird" is a travesty, as no one who hunts them will want to eat them. Any species that is a game bird should be one that people want to eat. Read more
