In the absence of other effective means of population control or mitigation of the damage presently sustained, I am wholly supportive of this initiative, which appears to me to have been well thought through. Read more

I am both shocked and appalled by the proposal to open hunting on a recovering species! As a wildlife biologist I have found absolutely no scientific evidence that this should be allowed let alone encouraged. In fact I find it hard to see how such a proposal has even seen the light of day. Read more

I totally oppose this change. By your own admission the population has stabilized or gone down. There is no need for this killing for the sake of killing. Birds will be left to rot - who wants to take home a dead bird you can't eat? Read more

I wish to register my strong opposition to the proposed implementation of a hunting season for the Double-crested Cormorant. I find egregious the arguments listed in your proposal supporting the hunt. Have we learned nothing in the past hundred years about how swiftly a species can be decimated? Read more

I can't believe the govt I voted for is proposing such preposterous action against the cormorants of Ontario. These birds have been demonized long enough. It is disappointing that you are stepping into the sphere of giving in to people who do this. Read more

A hunting season on this magnificent and valued water bird is a terrible idea. It is not based on scientific reasoning, but on anecdotal and outdated notions. Please do not proceed with this. We need these birds as part of a balanced system in our Great Lakes region. Read more

I am completely against this hunt. MNRF should not allow an open season on a native species. It seems like the only purpose of this open season is to kill as many Cormorants as possible. A daily limit of 50/day is absurd. This is not wildlife management. Read more

I oppose the hunting of cormorants. Hunting of any kind is cruel and immoral, but this is a particularly pointless cull. The proposal is not science-abased, but instead is political and could result in the decimation of the cormorant population. Read more

The Government’s proposal will have numerous terrible consequences to wildlife and natural ecosystems in Ontario including the wholesale, uncontrolled, impossible to monitor, slaughter of cormorants. Read more

The hunting of Canada’s wildlife needs to stop. Human intervention is not required to conserve our native land and animals. Rather we need to address our impact on wildlife as human beings. Take a step back and back off. This hunt would be disgraceful. Read more
