Without knowledge of the true numbers of cormorants in the province, I am alarmed by the 'limit' of 50 birds/day that has been established, and fear that this species will become extirpated in a very short time. Read more

I'm in favor of any legislation that contributes to controlling cormorants however I am concerned that OMNR&F are passing the buck so that anglers and hunters bear the brunt of people who want nothing of a cull. Read more

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposal to establish a hunting season for double-crested cormorants in Ontario. I have watched these birds for some time in both Toronto and Eastern Ontario, and I am fully opposed to the proposed regulatory change. Read more

I will confess I am not a hunter, so am not aware of the 'usual' procedures in a population cull. However, I am alarmed by the extent of the proposed Cormorant killing. 50 Cormorants per day sounds excessive. Read more

We are strongly opposed to the proposal to establish a hunting season for Double-crested Cormorants in Ontario. It is an unprecedented slaughter that has no place in modern times – rather it is a throwback to another century when, out of ignorance, entire species were annihilated. Read more
