I read the Ontario Federations of Anglers and Hunter's argument for opening a hunting season for Cormorants and am flabbergasted with the "vague" language supporting this new hunting season.

I am a senior hunter and I do not believe ethical hunters should allow themselves to be used as a scapegoat for the government. There will be fallout from hunters killing cormorants and we don’t need the bad press. I don’t kill if I can’t eat it.

I am opposed to the proposed policy to allow the wholesale slaughter of a Native species. A number of studies in both Canada and the USA have failed to substantiate the outlandish claims demonizing Cormorants.

As an outdoor's person, this proposal if accepted will make hunters appear as reckless, fun loving and wasteful killers of wildlife. It is certain to get widespread media coverage damaging the reputations of hunters and MNRF.

I am vehemently opposed to this proposal to list cormorants as game birds and establish a hunting season for them. I participated in research that took place on bird islands where cormorants nested.

I am not a hunter and do not understand all of the rules and regulations, so I just went to the hunting regulations page and it seems to me that if game birds need 'management', then there are some numbers allowed to be killed by each person per day.

Being a 32 year employee of the Ministry of Natural Resources has left me with many memories of the Double Crested Cormorant. The first colony I ever say was from the front seat of a Turbo Beaver on a small rocky island in the Grand Traverse Bay area of Lake of the Woods in 1978.

I am appalled and outraged at the Ontario Government’s proposed mass slaughter of the Double-crested Cormorant birds by declaring them as a game bird! This is the worst wildlife “management” decision in Canadian history.

I run a fishing Guide business out of Toronto for the last 3 years and have fished around Toronto for the last 30 years. The cormorants are constantly expanding there range and colonies along the Humber River in Toronto.

I am saddened by this proposal as I see it as another senseless and cruel way to address an inconvenience to a small group of self-interested people. Destructive they call the cormorant?

We strenuously oppose the wholesale slaughter of the Cormorants in Ontario. There is no scientific data to justify such a rash action. Years of effort and thousands of dollars spent to help the species recover, will have been for nothing.

Hello. I am a the Chippewas of Rama First Nation’s Community Consultation Worker. We have a few concerns regarding the proposed cormorant hunting season.

I object to the “management of indigenous species” by opinion polls followed by the eradication of those with poor public relations campaigns.
I object to this bill.
I strongly am against the culling of the double crested cormorants.
Shooting the birds and young on nest. Allowing the cpcormorants to rot and perhaps not even be dead but die a horrible death is horrid.
The whole concept will wipe out the cormorants in a few years.

RE 013-4124# OPEN SEASON CULL OF DOUBLE BREASTED CORMORANTS
There are so many scientifically confirmed reasons why this ERO proposal is misguided and should not proceed

As a recent lakefront Owner/resident on Lake Nosbonsing (Twp of East Ferris, On.) I personally witnessed the damage this bird does to the eco system. They consistently fed off fingerlings near our dock, depriving other aquatics such as fish, turtles, etc. from their food source.
