I oppose the proposal to list the cormorant as a game bird. Their population is stabilizing, by your own accounts. There is no justification for the wanton destroying of 50 birds a day by hunters who likely will not even eat them.

You're just enabling animal cruelty.
By doing this, you're just encouraging hunters to kill for sport. There will be a competition to kill entire colonies as quickly as possible and leave their mess behind.
This policy is disastrous. It is cruel. It is seeking the extirpation of a species for no good reason. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously. Allowing people to kill 50 birds a day for most of the year and just leave them there. They're not even game birds.

As the fish population decreases I think the time is now for this proposed hunt to be implemented. I endorse the proposal for a legal hunt on the cormorants.
This comment is related to the proposed hunt season for double-breasted cormorants. I am in full support with this proposal. These birds have wreaked havoc on young fish populations and I have seen this personally from watching them eat ravenously on Charleston Lake.

I am against the proposal to have a hunting season for the double crested cormorant . This iconc bird should not be removed from wildlife protection. Information i have been reading from naturalists , biologists and orthinologists have cleared up a lot of misinformation about the cormorants.

I'm appalled that this proposal would make it legal for "hunters" to blast away at cormorants essentially every day during the non-winter months without limit -- 50 birds a day, every day.

While I do not oppose hunting, the idea of a 50 animal limit with no requirement to limit spoilage seems like an invitation to animal cruelty. I think this proposal needs significant revision, in consultation with experts in animal welfare.
I am very strongly opposed to the proposed legislation allowing the almost unrestricted slaughter of cormorants in Ontario. This accomplishes nothing other than suffering and destruction.

I wholeheartedly agree with the proposal to allow a hunting season of Cormorants in Ontario. I have seen the devastation of small Islands in North Eastern Ontario from the feces of these birds as well as dwindling fish stocks. Something must be done to keep their population in check!
I'm fully in support of establishing a season for culling the cormorants. I've witnessed first hand the impact they have on their habitat and other fish and bird species over the last decade while living, hunting and fishing in the Kawarthas.

Why are we humans so arrogantly insane? The proposal to allow the hunting of Double-crested Cormorants appears to be a perverse attempt to appease people who are misinformed and/or biased about this unfairly maligned species.

I resist the idea that we shoot animals.
I resist the idea that someone can go out every day between March 15 to December 31 each year across the province every day and kill 50 living creatures.
I resist the idea that I can be shot by someone else while enjoying wild life
