Earth is in a mass extinction event. It is now time for human beings to stop killing. We need to respect the sacredness of all living things and element that sustains life here.

I am writing to urge the Ontario government not to proceed with the ill-advised double-crested cormorant cull. This policy is not based on science, but to placate a few citizens who do not see room for this native species in our fragile ecosystem.

I'm astonished at this proposal.
Ontario is a leading province on co-existence and compassion not senseless killing.
Perhaps over-fishing should be looked at more carefully not more target practice of our beautiful wildlife. Please reconsider and follow the science.
We would like to commend MNRF for submitting this proposal. The hunt would be a good way to manage the population and reduce fish and habitat destruction.

As a wildlife biologist I find it difficult to understand how the sustainable hunting of ANY species can be open for such a long period of time and during the breeding season.

I am against the proposal to hunt cormorants as a game bird. This could lead to damage to the cormorant population and to other species that nest near cormorants.
I do not agree with the governments proposal to establish a hunting season for cormorants in Ontario. I strongly feel that the governments stance is not entirely based on thorough scientific research, but on
unsubstantiated claims and complaints.

From reading I have done, opening a hunting season for double-crested cormorants is not a suitable solution to the complaints given. Humans are all too quick to turn to killing as a solution. More guns and hunting has even graver problems .

We find this proposal totally confusing and unacceptable. People should not be allowed to shoot cormorants or any other bird or animal with such wide-ranging criteria. It is ridiculous for such a long time period and the number of birds per person is ridiculous.

The Ontario decision to issue hunting permits to kill vast numbers of Double -Crested Cormorants in Ontario is barbaric, with a concept and justification that is both flawed and mis-informed.

As an avid hunter and trapper in northern Ontario I would support a hunting season for cormorants in Ontario. We moved to northern Ontario 5 years ago.

I am strongly opposed to this proposal to declare the double crested cormorant as a game bird and establish so long a hunting season.
Such a proposal, if implemented, would subject these majestic birds to incredible cruelty and negatively impact their role in our ecosystem.

I don't agree with this hunt which might wipe out a native bird species, the cormorant. The hunting and fishing lobbyists and those with a vested interest including politicians don't have a right to meddle in Canadians' nature landscape, environment or the birds - the cormorants that live there.

I am very much opposed to this proposal. The suggested scope of this attack on a bird is comparable only to the slaughter of passenger pigeons. Cormorants are part of the ecosystem of Ontario lakes and have never caused a fish species to go extinct - something that cannot be said about humans.

I want to add my protest to this cormorant hunt. I see no reason to place stress on this fellow species. It is my understanding that this is just gratuitous violence perpetrated against a struggling animal species.
