This proposal seems adequate. The cormorant is well over populated on the Bay of Quinte and has invasively disrupted other wildlife and natural vegetation. It has decimated several islands from all living fauna and therefore destroyed habitat to countless species. Read more

Thank you for developing this management proposal. I have witnessed, first hand, the habitat destruction and game fish populations in decline due to cormorant over population. I support fully, your proposal for a culling program and look forward to furthering this endeavour. Read more

I am 100% for this act. I do a lot of fishing in our beautiful lakes and a lot of migratory bird hunting. I have noticed a massive tread of these birds destroying small islands and waterfronts with their acidic poop. We need to preserve our ecosystem from these nasty birds. Read more

I'm totally in support of the culling/hunting of cormorants in Ontario. My lake ...Lake Wahnapitae in Sudbury is seeing increased populations competing with the local loons and encroaching in their established habitat. Read more

As a hunter I think it is great to have more opportunities to hunt. I do support the cormorant hunt. However having to follow non toxic shot rules will severely limit those who would be willing to hunt these pests. Read more

I strongly believe that the double crested cormorant should be classified as a game bird with a hunting season in Ontario. Managing wildlife populations through regulated hunting seasons and law-abiding hunters is both cost effective and management effective. Read more

What gives us the right to take someone's life? They are here for their own reason, just like us or any other living being. You call killing someone who did nothing to you, did not enter your home or attack you, a GAME? Humans go into their homes and rip them apart for fun and laughter. Read more

While I agree with the conclusion presented that there are too many cormorants I do have concerns with the 50 bird limit and people leaving them floating dead in the water like some fishermen do with Sheepshead that float into our public beaches and give fishing a bad name, the same will be true for Read more

Cormorants have completely destroyed a small island on Rice Lake where we vacation. We actually have pictures, taken over a 10 year period, and you can see the damage to the point of destruction. We cannot see the number of panfish that have been eaten but it must be substantial. Read more

I have first hand witnessed these animals destroying large portions of land, in particular islands. Their waste kills the plant life making it inhabitable by any other animals or people. They clearly don’t have enough natural predators. Read more
