I honestly had to check the date when I read this to make sure it was not April
1!! This is akin to the old bounty system. As a hunter in Ontario, the last
thing I want is to have this activity associated with hunting or naming the

As a scientist and avid birder I do not support this proposal. The statement that it "will not affect sustainability" lacks scientific proof and credibility.

Cormorants are NOT game birds and are inedible. So the argument in favour of permitting them to be hunted is limited to indulging people who enjoy killing for killing's sake. I do not agree with that.

As a person who has lived in Northwestern Ontario for over forty years on a smaller inland lake with very few Cormorants sighted, I am totally opposed to this plan. I am very interested in bird habitat and bird watching.

I object to Double Crested Cormorants being listed as "game" birds. They are not traditionally used as food. The only purpose of the hunt appears to be to eliminate a once endangered species that is a native to the Canadian environment.

The hunt to reduce the nuisance population is a good idea, but the bird is a diving duck and is basically inedible ( not bad for you, just bad tasting, survival food only). Make an exemption to the wanton waste rule for this bird.
I find this subject a little confusing ,you want to put the cormorant under the guise of the migratory bird act. I f not mistaken all hunted animals ,birds etc are meant to be consumed and not left to spoil? I am sure if caught you are subject to fines?

Would be beneficial for wildlife diversity to have a open season for these birds. Should a season open it could open with the other migratory bird seasons and close at end of year.
If an open season is established effective tomorrow, it won't be too soon. They do a lot of damage and it's hundreds of thousands too many of them... I'm all for a season for double-ccrested cormorants.

I agree that Double-breasted Cormorants are a problem, however I have some very serious concerns. Hunting these birds will terribly disturb the breeding grounds of countless other birds and is absolutely not a viable solution to the problem.
