This proposal is abysmal.
You are responding to "concerns expressed by some groups (commercial fishing industry, property owners) and individuals that cormorants have been detrimental to fish populations, island forest habitats, other species and aesthetics."

Please do more research and get a lot more evidence before proceeding with such a draconian solution to a perceived problem which probably doesn't exist. The hunting lobby needs to be controlled with more regulation, not the animals it targets
This legislation is a license to massacre and maim cormorants and other birds such as loons that can easily be mistaken. It’s cruel and foolhardy, having no real impact on declining fish populations.

I am 150% in favour of this cormorant hunt! It is long overdue. They are destroying fish populations and the natural environment where they live. I am heavily involved in the fishing industry and the fish population is of great concern to myself and my family.

A policy that certainly was proposed without any scientific assessment, proper studies or experts. Just a few folks complaining.
There are not enough words to express how vehemently I oppose this proposal.
If wildlife "belongs" to anyone, then it "belongs" to everyone and I don't want "my" cormorants to face a cruel slaughter to satisfy the interests of the "fun with a gun" crowd.

It is important to find a working balance in population management, it’s easy to see that there is currently not a proper balance with the cormorant population.

I am strongly in favour of the proposal to reduce the number of cormorants. As a person that enjoys a lot of time on Ontario's many lakes, I have long been disgusted by the damage these birds due to the areas they occupy.

Please Please make this happen , for the sake of our fishery and the sake of our beautiful islands on
the St. Lawrence river. This is long overdue !!!

I am opposed to this proposal.
1) Double-crested cormorants are not an invasive species.
2) I am a hunter. The proposal is not a hunt, but a cull. It will give a bad name to the hunters of the province. Shooting and letting the meat spoil goes against the ethics of all responsible hunters.

Don't you find it a bit absurd to allow anyone with a license to shoot up to 50 birds of a native Ontario species in one day, while they would mostly serve no purpose to hunters as they are bad to eat due to their diet of fish?

As an avid hunter and angler in the Nipissing region, which has seen cormorant populations increase recently, I find this proposal disgusting. If scientific evidence supports the need to decrease the population then cull them systematically- hunting will have very little impact on population size.
