The proposal for cormorant hunting needs to be reassessed. It is a potential slaughter, not only of entire cormorant colonies but of other birds which nedt in the same vicinity such as herons. Fifty percent day ? Really?

This is just stupid. How can anyone with more than 2 working brain cells think this is a good idea. Nature takes care of itself and will always take care of itself without human intervention.
(1) DOCO, being essentially inedible, is not a game bird; (2) ancillary impacts on birds protected by the Migratory Birds Convention Act, including Common Loon, which may not be readily distinguishable by many hunters from DOCO; (3) public health issues related to rotting carcasses, which hunters a

I object to the proposal to allow open hunting of the Double-crested Cormorant (DOCO). My reasons are as follows:

Knowing that humans have killed 83% of the world's wildlife, I'd say that it's time to put a stop to hunting, period. It would do us a great deal of good to set aside and protect parcels of land for wildlife and learn to use predation instead of guns to restore balance.

We do not need or want involvement in the killing of native birds.
The mass killing of cormorants will not be beneficial. In fact, the process of killing them will force other bird species to vacate the colony sites they share.

Calling a creature a game bird does not make it a game bird. Double speak at its worst. Culling or rather killing the cormorants for no valid reason makes no sense and borders on human cruelty, This is a senseless notion - birds being birds in a world that has taken away huge swaths of habitat.

Something needs to be done they have started to frequent Lakes we fish and they can ruin a fishery in a short time. I think 50 may be high but 25 for sure would not be a bad compromise Thank You
I am deeply concerned to hear of wanting to open hunting on the Double-Crested Cormorant in Ontario. This would harm our beautiful wildlife and could harm other species and habitats in Ontario. Hunting of this amazing waterfowl as no justification and should not be allowed in Ontario!

There is no scientific justification for hunting Double-crested Cormorants. The proposed legislation poses serious risks for humans, for the environment and for many bird species including Ontario's provincial bird, the Common Loon.

I fully support the proposal but I feel the proposed hunting season is too long. May I suggest splitting the hunting season into two seasons. March 1st to May 15th and them October 15th to November 31st.

This is a great idea and is something that should have been implemented long ago. I am an avid fisherman in Ontario and every year the increasing cormorant population is impacting the fisheries that I hold in high regards. Please move forward with this implementation.
