Please do not allow legislation to go through that allows hunters to purposely kill the cormorant birds. Death has never been a solution to any problem. Humans use gigantic nets to kill fish while the birds eat only what they need for survival. Read more

I appreciate that the Ministry is forthcoming, stating that the Double-crested cormorant population has stabilized or declined slightly. However, I do not understand how a Provincial Ministry responds to ad hoc concerns by creating a hunting season. Read more

I want to express my disappointment with the plan to allow hunting of cormorants in Ontario. It is a cruel and ineffective way to control cormorant populations. Please contact Zoocheck for their advice on cormorants. Thanks.

I do not agree with the hunting of cormorants from June until August nor the spoiling of the carcasses. Letting hunters hunt during this time and by boat puts the public at risk when they are out more during the summer months and on lakes.

I think it is completely wrong and inhuman to allow the kidding of this bird population. I believe in passing this bill, it will have the opposite reaction where eventually there will be no/ little birds remaining. 50 birds a day? Who came up with this quota. Read more

I believe the government needs to lower the number and install a max on hunting for the season. It is a problem but potentially killing wholesale might create bigger problems. Please reconsider and do careful analysis of the situation. Thanks

Canada boosts magnificent landscapes and wonderful wildlife. I am shocked to learn about your plans to class cormorants as game thus allowing up to 14,000 of these wonderful birds to be killed per year. Read more

This proposal to allow the slaughter of these innocent , beautiful birds is disgraceful and disgusting . Why are we , as an advanced country and province , allowing a few inhuman , mentally ill " hunters " to dictate this sick behaviour to the rest of us . Read more

The policy sets the daily limit far too high. There is no reason that a hunter should be able to kill 50 birds in a day. Such a high limit would allow a single hunter to kill vast swaths of a colony on a daily basis. Read more

We own a cottage on Lake Manitou on Manitoulin Island. We are confident we are speaking for many other summer residents on our lake. We have been vacationing on Lake Manitou for over thirty years and have observed the negative impact of the increasing cormorant population. Read more

This law is 10 years too late. Cormorants should not be protected anywhere where they are not a native spicy. I witnessed (hopelessly and helplessly) them eradicating the entire fish population within a year at many locations. And, not to mention other effects they cause on the environment.
