Cormorant populations have been dropping as it is. It makes no sense to allow them to be hunted. What is being proposed will decimate their populations!
Stop killing, please stop. Any time there is a perceived problem, why is the first reponse to kill? Then we wonder why people kill other people. We have made killing acceptable.

As a hunter and fisherman in Ontario for may years I do agree to a cull of would be a good thing as there number have reached an astounding number. Just last fall on the bay in front of my house there were flocks of hundreds if not into the thousands.

I've just read about your Government plans to kill off the double-breasted cormorant. You are giving permission to anyone to kill a disgusting amount of innocent creatures yet again. They're depleting fish stocks? Causing environmental damage?

Citing "aesthetics" as a reason that the cormorant population is a problem is not sufficient justification for permitting them to be hunted en masse. This policy has no scientific evidence to justify its existence, nor does it have any evidence to justify its design.
I am horrified and appalled that the Ontario government is actually considering this draconian, cruel and environmentally dangerous assault on our wildlife.

Making these birds "game" birds is hardly a game for the birds.
Let the idiots with guns shoot at targets, don't let them target wildlife in any form.
If they really must shoot to kill, send them off to war.
At least they will be facing someone or something that can defend itself.

I’m surprised this even needs to be discussed. Look at the shoreline along any major body of water at the destruction these birds do to the trees they roost in.

Cormorant measures are much to radical! Humans should stop meddling in nature unless it is to preserve habitats!!
Tell that to Doug Ford and his government regarding his green belt fiasco measures. Everything is not about the almighty dollar!!

this proposal is disgusting and a completely shameful for the government of Ontario to even be considering this. there is no scientific evidence to back the slaughter of double crested cormorants. pls do not pass this bill. shame on Doug Ford.

In relation to killing birds to manage their numbers; I feel that perhaps the Government of Ontario and more broadly, Canadian government need to look into the cause of rising and falling numbers of wildlife and address the underlying issues.

I think the slaughter is inhumane and a disgrace to Canadian wildlife. The rate you want to kill them, they will be endangered in no time. So do some more research before making such a harsh call.

I am 100% opposed to this vicious and unnecessary slaughter of cormorants. We are no longer living in the ignorant age that saw the destruction of passenger pigeons, but rather in the time of an ongoing extinction crisis when every wild life is important.
