In this time of environmental upheaval we humans must realize that we need to care for this planet and all its inhabitants. Killing off a population of birds who have just made a bit of a come-back from the brink of extinction is not a good choice for caring for our planet.

Anyone who is against some kind of cull of the cormorant needs to visit the previously beautiful islands and beaches that the cormorants guano have totally destroyed. One good example is Ship Island in Lake Couchiching.

I am submitting the following on behalf of the Little Current Fish and Game Club.
Allow me to give you some back ground information. I as well as my deceased parents
have owned a fishing resort for 69 years. A stream runs through our property. This stream empties into the North Channel.

This is a totally disgusting and uneccesary initiative. It essentially gives those who like to kill things an open ticket to massacre this species who's population, in your words, has stabilized or declined slightly.

Having spent 35 years on Balsam Lake and Georgian Bay I have viewed first hand the destruction that Cormorants cause. I would vehemently support any Legislation that leads to a cull of these filthy vermin.
This is an ill advised proposal. Who is advising you, by the way? Allowing hunting them at all, let alone during the breeding season is cruel. Please put a little more effort into measures that actually improve the environment.
I totally support the proposal because there are hundreds of cormorants at the south end of Lake Simcoe and they make it impossible to have a full night's sleep due to their constant grunting in their nesting colonies.

This is nothing more than a slaughter of these birds ! We live close to a busy waterway and we strongly oppose anyone with a valid Ontario Outdoors Card and small game hunting license to be slaughtering these native birds solely for sport ! Please reconsider this proposal !
The Government of Ontario is setting the stage to make what is probably the worst, most regressive, wildlife management decision in Canadian history and one that will drive an important, ecologically beneficial native waterbird back to the brink of extinction, or worse, in the province.

Dear Sir/Madame,

The proposed EBR 013-4124 is nothing less than draconian. Double-crested Cormorants are a native species that because of the elimination of DDT and the invasion of provincial waters by non-native species of invasive fish, have gone through a dramatic population increase in recent years.

I fish on Lake Ontario & West Lake It is very discouraging to watch them eat bass & perch on West Lake. Of course they are of great abundance around Scotch Bonnet. Driving east on 33 highway they are now killing the trees on this beautiful road used by tourists.

Please DO NOT list the cormorant as a game bird. Many cormorant experts believe this is a very bad plan for everyone. It is obvious that this plan benefits only those with guns who enjoy shooting and killing living creatures, how barbaric.

Wildlife biologists are clear about the role that monitored hunting plays in conservation and population management. Any attempts to halt the opening of a cormorant hunting season are based on a personal aversion to hunting in general.

I am opposed to ERO proposal 013-4124 which would allow uncontrolled hunting of cormorants.
As an avid boater,cottager and outdoor enthusiast, I have numerous opportunities to observe cormorants on both Lake Ontario and Lake Simcoe.
