Re: ERO 013-4124: Comment on Proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed regulation.
I oppose establishing a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario because:

Please don’t allow this 5o bird hunting limit!! Cormorants are an amazing bird, they are beautiful the way they dry their wings, and essential to our beautiful ecosystem on Georgian Bay. Fisherman and landowners complaining??

Opening hunting on a migratory bird that that is native to Ontario and has a small, stable, and recently recovered population is unreasonable and unethical. The government should not bend so easily to the scientifically unsupported environmental complaints of the fishing lobby.
I believe this needs to be done as I have seen these birds wipe out the perch population on a good sized lake in Perry sound, and can only imagine what they are doing to the bait population in Lake Ontario.

There needs to be more or better reasearch into this proposal. According to leading experts and researchers the diet of double-crested cormorants consists primarily of invasive and non native fish species.

I strongly oppose the Ontario Government's plan to establish a permanent hunting season for double-crested cormorants. As the cormorants are absent from Ontario in the winter, the proposed "season" is essentially year long.

The numbers of these birds needs to be controlled by a hunt. They are protected and in such high numbers that their impact on local fishery and even environment are huge. A hunting season would allow numbers to become more balanced.
I would love to see a hunting season opened for comorants. They really are a nasty creature with little to noredeming qualities. They festroy trees with their acidic excrement and put a severe amount of pressure upon fish populations.
This proposal goes directly against the directives of the ministry of natural resources and species conservation and is not based on scientific principles and best practices.

I believe the cormorant hunt is a good thing for our Great Lakes. These creatures cause nothing but destruction and deviation wherever they roost. I have no objections for the proposed 50 bird a day limit however I would like to see the carcasses removed by the hunter.

Cormorants are native to Ontario, I believe the proposed length of the open season in combination with the extremely high daily quota are the backdrop to a systematic eradication.

I'm concerned about the proposal to create a hunting season on the Double-Crested Cormorant. The hunt seems excessive because it covers the entire time the cormorant spends in Ontario, and also because the bag limit is so lenient.

I am in favour of creating a hunting season for these destructive birds. Conservation is key to controlling bird populations and since there is no season there can be no conservation!!!
I have had the opportunity to review and carefully consider the proposal to allow for the hunting of Cormorants in the Province of Ontario, and would like to voice my full and complete support of it!

I support the harvesting of cormorants. I would be in support of a season that follows the Canada Goose or Duck seasons with the same type of regulations, ie steel shot etc. I would also support the idea of letting the meat spoil if the hunter did not want to eat it.

Establishing a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario with the current proposed parameters is both irresponsible and counterproductive to Great Lakes ecosystem management and conservation efforts.
