This is purely a political move. Studies have shown that these birds do not eat large quantities of game fish but instead consume mostly non game species such as Alewives.

What you are proposing is appalling. I cannot believe you are even considering this. What kind of government would propose such a cruel and destructive approach to managing an animal population.

The game and commercial fishing lobby are incorrect to think their catch levels are affected by cormorants, loons, ducks or any other bird. These birds' diets consist of only 2% game fish fry. The recent cormorant rebound is just a return to their natural number and has now levelled off.

This proposal is appalling and anyone with half a brain would agree. Double-brested cormorants are majestic seabirds that have very interesting and complex familial relationships.

I read the article in the Peterborough Examiner by Drew Monkman and Tim Dyson in regards to the proposed massacre on the double crested cormorants.

I am a sailor on Lake Ontario and keep my boat in Presqu'ile Bay. I have enjoyed watching the cormorants that I see on the lake and have sailed by the island colonies to the west of Presqu'ile Provincial Park many times.

I strongly oppose establishing a hunting season for Double Breast Cormorants in my Ontario. There is absolutely no reason to hunt that beautiful bird and destroy eco systems.
I am strictly opposed to this unnecessary and cruel proposal. This would give people free reign to destroy as many cormorants as they want, quickly wiping out the population. These are creatures of nature and deserve to be left alone to live in peace.

I am writing to comment on the Proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario, ERO number 013-4124. This does not make any sense to me and I am hoping that you will reconsider.

I strongly oppose this proposal. There is zero evidence that cormorants cause any negative issues. Cormorants are native birds with a right to live. If enacted, this hung would be shameful.
Consider identifying specific days and hours of hunting specifically in areas where there is significant cottage and summer boating activity,perhaps avoiding weekends during the July/August period.
For disposal could you enlist municipal dump sites to accommodate the dead birds?

Hunting in our society is a sport that is guided by a code of conduct — for instance, that it does not occur at a time of year when young could be left abandoned to starve or be preyed upon (or, as is supposedly the case in the spring bear hunt, precautions are taken to avoid killing a mother that h

I support opening a season of cormorant hunting as described.
I have seen them take fingerlings, smolt and even shakers at 13 inches, which not survive even if not swallowed.
I have seen the damage they cause to island and shore vegetation.
