My view is that creating a hunting season in which people can hunt down and kill double-crested cormorants is a horrible idea. These birds have already been close to extinction, and should be protected, not slaughtered. Read more

This is unnecessary, outdated, environmentally damaging, wasteful and a. cruel idea. The Ontario government proposal is not a wildlife management program, it's an eradication plan that will push cormorants back to brink of extinction in the province. Shameful.

The Government of Ontario is setting the stage to make what is probably the worst, most regressive, wildlife management decision in Canadian history and one that will drive an important, ecologically beneficial native waterbird back to the brink of extinction, or worse, in the province. Read more

1. The Ontario government’s proposal will allow individuals with a small game license to kill up to 50 cormorants per day. That works out to approximately 1,500 cormorants per month or up to 14,250 cormorants for the entire proposed annual hunting season. Read more

Cormorants are a native species which were almost eradicated in the past. Yes, their population has increased considerably but, the government's preposal to have open, unrestricted killing of adults and babies is unfair for a number of reasons: Read more

I am commenting concerning the proposal to allow the hunting of cormorants in Ontario. This recently-revived species should not be hunted before - and not unless -- a complete feasibility study is conducted. As it stands, we do not have adequate scientific knowledge concerning this species.

absolutely not. Stop catering to self serving interest groups, mother nature takes care of its own, we don 't need man to interfere . these animals belong to all taxpayers not just a select few, live and let live. I want them to live.

Far from being overabundant, cormorant numbers are relatively modest, have stabilized and are dropping in some areas. A open hunting season would help push these birds out of Ontario or worse. A very bad, environmentally unfriendly act that Is unnecessary.

Do we really need another reason to kill innocent wildlife in the name of ‘sport’? It will be OK for an appropriately licensed individual to kill up to 50 Cormorants per day and then just leave them to rot? Really? Because it’s fun? Read more

Hello, While I understand that when nature is out of balance, and your current Ford government favours that imbalance, some species overpopulate as we have seen with deer, wolves etc., hunting open season is likely not the best way of dealing with the cormorant issue. Read more
