This is sad news to hear of this planned slaughter of these beautiful birds just recently brought back from the brink of extinction. HUMANS are detrimental to the declining fish stocks, not birds. I am disgusted with this plan. 50 bird limit? Thats a death sentence to this species. Read more

Please don’t allow this slaughter. Cormorants are natural to Ontario, and this hunt will likely eradicate them. It will also disrupt and injure other colonial waterbirds that nest nearby. This action is based on false information regarding the species effect on fish stock. Thank you.

Adult cormorants should not be hunted. A technique used in a park in Brampton to control Canada geese population was to apply something to their eggs when laid to soften the shells. This limited the number of chicks that hatched each year. Read more

What are you people thinking? 50 limit...there will be an indiscriminate slaughter. What do you gain by such a proposal? The cormorant was here many years ago prior to the wipe out by DDT. Let nature take its course. Read more

I want to go on the record that I am highly opposed to the reinstatement of hunting in Ontario of the double-crested cormorant. They are a beautiful bird, they have recently returned to our bay in Lake Huron and they can easily be eradicated in a season of hunting returns. Read more

The hunting season on Double-crested Cormorants is just a self defeating attempt to save the environment. Sure you may save some fish...but killing Cormorants?! It's like burning down your house because it's got a mold problem!

Establishing a hunting season for cormorants is an absolutely ridiculous idea. I can't even believe that someone thought this was a reasonable proposal. This is an environmentally damaging, outdated, and actually cruel idea. Read more

I did not think this hunt to be possible.I am all for it.I have conserns that the average hunter may mistake a loon for a cormarant .Some education by way of differant media would be advised. Let the hunt begin.
