As a lakeside resident of Port Colborne I fully support a cormorant hunt. They've been extremely destructive to shoreline trees on my property as well as surrounding properties. I also have great concerns about native fish populations considering the diet these birds consume.

I feel the Cormorant cull has been ineffective in the past. A season would greatly control a rampant population of nuisances birds destroying our Great Lakes and other wetlands in Ontario.

This is an excellent idea and long overdue in my opinion. Cormorants are ruining Southern Ontario shorelines and it's time to take action. Make it happen!!
Growing up on, and living along the Great Lakes my whole life, I have seen the devastation that can occur due to overpopulated areas with cormorants.

Since cormorants are not native to this area and since they appear not to have any natural predators, it makes sense that some sort of population controls be implemented. Perhaps a 5 year trial period (or something similar) would be beneficial to determine the effectiveness of hunting these birds.

Long over due and about time----fantastic news---nice to realize that I'm not the only one who has seen this as a problem---I'm all for it and will participate ---thank you.
This shameful practice of killing animals (birds in this case) while sitting leisurely in a boat is beyond disgraceful. The fact that you will allow hunters to kill so many of these birds in one day is pathetic. What kind of a government would allow such cruelty and such stupidity.
