I feel that this Proposal for the hunting of the double-crested Cormorants is a necessity to ensure the health of our fish in Ontario! We should never of had these birds brought into our country!
Thank you,
Brian
I am opposed to the proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario. They are a native species, and have not been proven to harm fish stocks. They are a colony species and would be at risk for over-hunting, especially as described in the proposal.

This culling is unwise and unsafe. Hunting from stationary boats is especially irresponsible. the limit of 50 cormorants per day is way too high. How do we protect against danger to migratory birds?

I am opposed to allowing this because I do not agree with the rationale for this. Cormorants are cited for damaging trees when they roost in them. How many trees are routinely being felled to allow for construction of new housing? The complaint is that the trees are an unpleasant site.

As an active outdoors individual, hunting, fishing and trapping for over 50 years in North Eastern Ontario I have seen the cormorant population go from non existent to extremely abundant. Especially noticeable on Abitibi Lake and tributaries.

I am writing to urge you to please NOT go ahead with the proposal to allow and encourage the killing of double-crested cormorants in Ontario.
This proposal will push cormorants back to the brink of extinction, for not reason other than to satisfy a radical group of anti-cormorant fisherman.

This is a disgusting, INHUMANE proposal. This should not be allowed to go through- other humane solutions should be explored- this makes me cringe to be Canadian.
Since I cannot say that I have ever seen a cormorant bird the Province's proposal for open hunt on fish-eating cormorants is not a qualified opinion but one of common sense.

Give me a break. Kowtowing again to a small vocal minority. This is life we’re dealing with.
These birds are nothing in the scheme of things. Deal with the important environmental issues instead of victimizing easy targets.
These birds need protection. This proposal removes all protections and makes them legal targets. This is a huge moral and evolutionary step backwards. We are better than this - leave these birds in peace and prosecute anyone who tortures or kills them. I am very upset about this proposal.
I do not support the reclassification to allow open hunting of the double breasted Cormorant, especially if the hunters are going to "spoil" the birds.
“Establish a bag limit of 50 cormorants/day with no possession limit.”
This is cruel, disgusting and excessive. No one person needs to, nor should, take 50 lives in one day. A whole season of killing like this will be catastrophic for the cormorant population.
Cormorants need to be managed and I fully agree that a hunting season would be a reasonable solution
As a cottage owner on lake front in the Kawartha’s I strongly support this proposal
This is the most obscene proposal that has been put forward in years. It is horrific in the extreme.
This proposal harkens back to bounties on wolves, coyotes, the slaughter of the bison, and the extinction of the passenger pigeon.

I think it is an excellent idea to have a cormorant hunt. This bird has spread widely through Ontario and has no , or very few, natural predators. As a result, their numbers have increased drastically to the point where they are destructive to our fish stocks and out flora.
