This is appalling! Why would you kill these birds. There is so little wildlife left in southern Ontario. We are living through the earth's 6th mass extinction event. You are going to miss the things you used to kill when you have exterminated all creatures.
I agree a hunting season for cormorants is a must. Growing up around the Pointe Pelee region I have seen these birds take over what used to be nicely treed areas and destroyed all the vegetation and plant life on some of the small islands surrounding the pointe.

As a cottage owner on Balsam Lake since 1970, I have seen the progressive destruction of a small island and as a fisherman, a reduction in the fresh water game fish by the proliferating cormorant population which appears unchecked. I vigorously support a hunting season on the cormorant.
Leesburg to be devastated the thousand Islands region waterways and upstate New York waterways for years it’s about time someone took an action to control their numbers.
Related to the cormorants. Please do not include them as a hunting bird. This species was almost wiped out and is only now re-gaining numbers. Cormorants are native species. It's time we support wildlife.
This is an excellent idea. Clearly the evidence shows cormorants have become a major stressor to game fish populations such as perch and other panfish. They have become very destructive to shoreline habitat. Although populations may have stabilized, they have at very high levels.

I am getting more and more fed up with the morons that are responsible for our policies and procedures.....absolute chaos and stupid irresponsible culling of wildlife...unbelievable.

In my opinion I believe that people shouldn’t have the right to hunt the double-crested cormorants. Having a bag limit of 50/day and no possession limit would make the populations decline significantly.

As a resident of Pelee Island (western Lake Erie) I am concerned that hunting Cormorants will be more of a nuisance to my community than a benefit. There is a large population of Cormorants around Pelee Island and a nesting area on Middle Island just to the south.

I think this is some of the best news I've heard in a long time. Cormorants live in large colonies and their droppings destroy the very trees in which they choose to roost.

I agree with the proposal to have a legal hunting season for cormorants. I Nov. of this year I was on Lake Erie, and could not believe the number of cormorants that I saw around the docks at Kingsville and in flight over the Lake Erie waters as we made our way to Pelee Island.
