I am opposed to adding a provision so that hunters could allow cormorants to spoil. This seems to me to be excessive in its cruelty and irresponsible ecologically. If one were to use the carcass, a kill would be justified, whereas leaving the bird to spoil is not.

I support the proposal to open hunting of double breasted cormorant. It will help the fishing in Sturgeon Lake. These birds are increasing in numbers annually. I would also like to see air powered rifles added to the list of approved guns
Untill someone can explain to me the positive impact of these birds im all for a open season.. from what i have seen they are ruining the environment..
I fully support an open season on cormorants in Ontario and agree that certain changes will need to be made to the laws concerning allowing game meat to spoil. It would be helpful if legal disposal options were listed.
I cant believe you would even consider such a cruel ridiculous senseless killing of so many cormorants! You are even going to kill through the nesting season! These birds are not a problem and the only ones who comment on the fishing situation are the men who want the fish so they can kill them!

I'm appalled at the news the government is planning to make the Cormorant a target for slaughter. When are we going to learn that wildlife was not put on this planet for humans to destroy?

At a time when we are losing birds and other species of animal at an unprecedented rate, the introduction of yet new hunting seasons and relaxed hunting laws shows an appalling lack of consideration, care and understanding for life and nature.

This letter is in comment to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s (MNRF) proposal to allow open hunting of the Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus).

Do it, why not. People who oppose hunting cormorants, need to read the entire list of animals I can hunt, also we have culling programs in Ontario, hunting them is cheaper.

The population of Double Crested Cormorants on Lake Ontario has exploded out of control. Their only known predator is man. Therefore we have to take charge in controlling their population.

This irrationally/ill conceived proposal makes zero sense in terms of responsible wildlife management or ecological health. It's nothing more than a licence to exterminate a species with no regard for how that would affect other species or the ecology of the habitats affected.

This is a disgusting proposition for trigger loving hunters. It has no purpose and no objective. On the contrary, should this be passed it will severely upset the ecosystem.
It is cruelly at its worst and I am vehemently opposed to such a sociopathic proposal.
If you want to keep a sustainable fishery in the Great Lakes and surrounding water bodies in the years to come, I believe having a season one these birds is a very good idea.

Excellent initiative and very badly needed to protect our native fish-eating birds including ospreys , mergansers and loons , as well as critically important shoreline vegetation , from the devastation created by this destructive invasive species !
My major concerns:
(1) Lack of scientific credibility and justification
The proposal fails to demonstrate a sound scientific basis for the need for the hunt, lacking any detailed information about the species’ population size.
