Double -crested cormorant populations have stabilized in Ontario. I love seeing them in Thunder Bay area. I do not believe it is ethical to hunt them as they are not harvested for meat and a hunt will not respect the lives of the birds. Read more

Worst idea I’ve heard in some time as it models a total disregard for wildlife. The killing produces no food and no pelt. It is unlikely to be effective at controlling the population because number of hunters will be small. People are likely to get killed. Don’t do it.

I vehemently oppose a recent Environmental Registry of Ontario posting which announced that the Government is seeking input on a proposed change to the province’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act that will: allow the wholesale, uncontrolled, impossible to monitor, slaughter of cormorants across th Read more

Hi, I am a waterfowl hunter. I think a cormorant hunt would be a great idea and I think 50 a day is fair. What people don’t realize it’s hunters including myself rarely shoot a limit of ducks in a day which is 6 per day. Read more

50 a day with no limit over the season is insane. And thats a very long hunting season your considering. Thats 14000ish birds per hunter per year. It is also my understanding they nest together. So a hunter could basically wipeout an entire grouping in minutes. Doesnt seem fair. Read more

I am writing today to strongly oppose the new proposal regarding cormorants hunting and listing them as "Game Birds". The opinion of small groups of people with a biased opinion on cormorants does not justify the mass killing of cormorants. Read more

I am opposed to the proposed hunt on cormorants. I am opposed to categorizing the cormorant as a game species in order to use this measure as a way to control its population. A limit of 50 birds a day is so alarming. That is not a hunt - it's a massacre and a pot shot exercise. Read more

If this hunt is approved, how will it affect my ability to kayak, canoe, swim, sail, or fish on waterways in my areas? How will the safety of my children be protected from people wielding shotguns? I am also concerned about the disposal of dead birds. Read more

I 100% agree with this proposal. They are extremely destructive and disgusting birds. The population has exploded to an uncontrolled number because they’re federally protected in most of the United States and they have few natural predators. Read more
