I am in support of the cormorant hunt. I do believe they are destructive to the fish population I would participate in the hunt although I see no beneficial value in the bird as a source of food

Objection to cormorant hunting season
Issue
We strongly oppose a lengthy open hunting season on cormorants in Ontario, and allowing cormorant hunters to leave cormorant carcasses to spoil. The proposals will result in odious slaughter, doing a disservice to ethical hunting.
