My preference would be to reintroduce Bill 205 to add cormorants to the list of unprotected birds in the FWCA. Listing them as a game bird does a major disservice to the image of hunting.

This is a terrible idea! To allow hunters, some of which would be inexperienced, to shoot 50 cormorants a day from a boat in prime season is asking for trouble.

The Proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario is completely inappropriate way to control a populations, and is clearly biased towards those who value their bottom line over environmental protection and the lives of thousands of birds.
