I support this proposal to extend the wild take of raptors for licensed falconers in Ontario. This proposal needs to be judged by science and not emotions. The fast amount of Ontario's raptors migrate south of the border, where almost every state allows wild take.

I support the proposal as written. I have a friend who is a long time falconer. In his falconry he also reports on environmental and species-related issues and does a lot to nurture wild habitat.

I have a colleague who has many years of experience raising, training and hunting with predatory birds as a falconer and I would like to support him by accepting this proposal
Please pass this more liberal legislation and do not consider the vocal bleeding hearts who would have all of us live inside and ruin the environment by being unaware of it. Goshawks, in falconry are one of the most rewarding birds to train and hunt with.

I am a licensed falconer in Maine where we are allowed to take wild raptors for use in falconry. We require apprentice falconers to trap their first hawk so that they best learn the basics of falconry and better understand the nature of raptors.

I think this was be good for the birds. I they are captured and taught to hunt. They have better chances of surviving the wild when they are released due to the fact that they have been taught to hunt. Also the fact that they will be in protected from the wild for their early years.

1) Upwards of 75% of first year immature raptors will die of starvation during their first winter. It is from this population only that raptors would be accessed by falconers.

Falconers have played an important role in raptor conservation and by allowing more falconers to have access to wild birds, the MNRF is encouraging more active conservation and citizen science.

Intimate knowledge gained through access to wild raptors by falconers can, and has, had important benefits. As an example- the most successful reintroduction of a species, the Peregrine Falcon, was led primarily by falconers.

Falconry is vital. Allowing falconers to make the rules that govern their practice is also vital. No one cares more about birds of prey than falconers and they are all conservationists if the truth were known.

I support Falconry in all its forms, including the taking of passage birds and the use of eyasses and captive-bred birds. There are many studies showing that there is no ill effect to the wild population and their use creates public awareness and therefore support for conservation.

Expand the live capture of wild raptors by licensed falconers is a great idea! Falconers care for their birds, other raptors and the environment in general. Often when sick or injured birds are found, people turn to falconers to retrieve the animal and get them to a suitable rehabilitation center.
