Please do NOT allow the hunt. We need to protect these beautiful birds!!!! Hunting them, especially during nesting season, is cruel, inhumane and thoughtless. Let's act responsibly and compassionately!!!!!
I agree that Comorrants are detrimental to the fish populations. A plan to eliminate or reduce their numbers would be welcome. However, it should also be mandatory, to dispose of the carcasses in an acceptable manner.
I support this proposal as written. These populations have made an impact on our lake causing destruction in many areas local to my property. Our health is at risk by their large and annually increasing numbers.
This is outrageous. There is absolutely no good reason why this, or any bird or animal, should be hunted. This a cruel and barbaric past time and the Ontario government should be ashamed. Smacks of Trump and his insane decisions.
I have a sail boat and for the past 10 years my wife along with many friends have cruised the great lakes and love anchoring in the thousand islands.

I agree with all of the new proposals.
I own a cottage on Balsam Lake and the Birds in question have distroyed a little island on the lake that I used to take my kids to - it is now a white toxic mess.

Re: EBR 013-4124 – Notice of Objection
First, it should be pointed out the Notice contains confusing contradictory information that will prevent members of the public of engagement in this public consultation process.

Cormorants are not a bird that people eat. Hunting them would only be target practice for hunters and the animal would be wasted. To kill for the sake of killing is a scary proposition to even consider for aesthetics.

Since 1980 I have been an avid boater and business operator on the St Laurence River in the 1000 Islands. I have now retired and made my home on this river.

This is one of the worst idea I have heard . To allow hunters to indiscriminately slaughter birds that are not edible and do NOT eat all the fish is criminal. This will allow many hunters that have no other desire than to simply kill to satisfy their basest instincts.

This proposal to allow cormorant populations to be managed is long overdue. We have seen a thriving small mouth bass sport fishery crash in a few short years. The average number of bass caught has declined drastically in this time along with a great reduction in smaller, younger fish.

Please reconsider this proposal to create a hunting season for the double crested cormorants in Ontario. This proposal does not account for the overall impact that this type of devastation creates in the cormorant’s environment.

I have watched these bird on the south end of Balsam lake over the last decade destroy the trees on one island and make it uninhabitable The last 2 years I have noticed them in the North bay gobling up fish in front of our place so they are expanding their territory.
