The proposed hunt is too uncontrolled. Too many birds could be killed. And the reasons for the hunt are not scientifically supported. A more targeted approach of control in specific areas to address a specific problem in an area is required.

I cannot believe that this Proposal is even being considered. What is being considered is the "slaughter without repercussions" of precious living creatures on this Planet/Earth for no good reason other than greed. Read more

A GAME BIRD? People shoot game birds to eat. Are these hunters going to eat even one cormorant? You kill it, you eat it. Not going to eat it? Don't kill it. (I make an exception for self-defence, i.e. swatting mosquitoes.) Read more

I am opposed to the proposed hunting legislation for the Double-Crested Cormorant (ERO 013-4124). The proposal ignores much of the scientific evidence regarding cormorants, puts other protected bird species at risk, and ignores other non-lethal ways of managing cormorant populations. Read more

I am writing to state my opposition to this backward and inhumane proposal to kill the cormorants. this is incredibly short sighted and has not basis in science. I cannot believe the province of Ontario is contemplating obliterating a species! Read more

These cormorants most certainly need to be reduced in numbers if you want to have any fish left. The liberal government would do nothing about this problem .I asked the biologists repeatedly and still nothing. Thank you for listening . Read more

I earlier shared another comment but I wanted to add another item. The aspect of the proposal that hunters be allowed to allow the meat of hunted cormorant game to spoil shows that there is NOT a true sporting purpose to this hunt and that rather it is wildlife slaughter without purpose. Read more
