The cormorants are invasive and are causing great damage to natural habitat. They should be eradicate as they have no place in the North American ecosystem.
This is long overdue
Congrats to the minister of Natural Resources for this has ruined shoreline and small islands not to mention the amount of fish they consume
These birds are diseases carrying. They desiccate the fish population in many small lakes and should be down sized. Not saying wipe them all out but let’s control them
Considering the damage these birds do, consider not making them a game bird, since noone will be eating them. Add them to the list of unregulated birds and animals that we currently hunt. Probably the only stipulation being that steel shot be used since they are around water.

Hunting for double crested cormorant should be legal in Ontario. These birds are ever growing in numbers and are significantly damaging our fisheries. We need to control these nuisance invasive birds
The insurge of this invading species has been a terrible catastrophe. Never in our history has a species multiplied at such an alarming rate that resulted in the destruction of our ecosystem and environment. A cull and Oiling the eggs is the only effective way to eliminate this menace.

I am opposed to a summer hunting season for cormorants. Citizens generally are supportive of fall hunting for the joy of hunting and food. Most do not support hunting just to kill. A summer hunt when we vacation with families will not be popular.

As a hunter I have one very important rule I follow when hunting and that is I don't shoot any animal I"m not welling to eat. I definitly don't see myself wanting to eat a Cormorant.

It would be more than okay with me to list the Double-Crested Cormorant as a game bird. I have seen cormorants swoop in on a Put and Take Fishery (city pond) after the pond was stocked with Rainbow trout.

i am totally oppopsed to allowing hunters to call cormorants a game bird it is not a game bird. it has never been a game bird., popuations of any species have lows and highs and we need to leavr the species alone to live through these changes.

Dr. Jim Quinn of McMaster university is an expert biologist in cormorant ecology. He believes that the population has plateaued naturally so this intrusion into a natural system is unnecessary and excessive.

Personally, I believe that a season for hunting these birds is warranted . The damage they inflict on vegetation and other wild life species is appalling.

OK so no one likes cormorants. But if they eat round gobies they’re useful to have around. Also, there is bound to be an impact on other species if hunting is allowed during breeding season.

These birds have been increasing in population and have had a negative impact on habitat and fish populations. They should be managed and I believe the current proposal is fair.
