Hi whomever it may concern.
I have been a Hunter in Ontario for the past 40 year and these comorants are becoming a blight some sort of population control needs to be implemented.
Thanks
These animals wrecked an area by a sandbar (Star Bay) on Scugog with their acidic feces. The trees are all dying and anything else they touch. Is it safe to be in the water swimming near these animal waste lands?

The proposal for establishing a hunting season for Double-Crested Cormorants during the breeding season and promoting the spoilage of killed birds is unethical and not based in science.

With due respect the insanity of thinking killing off the cormorants will benefit the fish populations is actually the reverse of what will happen.

please consult the experts in these matters, not just hearsay and public opinion (or political opinions for that matter) -_-
I was unable to attach a PDF so here are Prof. Gail Fraser's comments on the proposed cormorant hunt:

Has any consideration been given to the reproductive cycle of the cormorants and the impact of the new hunting periods on the chicks? Eggs are laid in June-July and chicks fledging takes place in August-September. The proposed hunting season will decimate the eggs and the chicks.

I am opposed to the opening of a hunting season on Double-crested Cormorants, especially with the extraordinary bag limits and extended hunting season. It would make it legal for anyone who hates these birds to wipe out a colony at will.

I am opposed to the proposed hunting legislation for the Double-crested Cormorant. While many people do not like cormorants or their colonies, aesthetic preference in no way justifies a hunt.

This is an insane proposal!!! This provincial government should be ashamed for even proposing it. Double-crested Cormorants are native birds. For no legitimate reason -- ecological or moral -- cormorants are already receiving so much violence in the province from haters.

This is a big mistake! I am appalled that this many birds could be hunted by one hunter in a single day! The cormorants eat fish and their poop is bad. This does not mean we can have open season on them! No one is going to eat their meat!!! Come on.....

Allowing hunters to shoot 50 cormorants a day during breeding season will inevitably lead to herons and egrets getting shot in similar habitats. People will have the ability to locally exterminate entire populations. This policy does not support sustainability.

Its about time. We regulate fishermen that take too many fish but show no interest in animals that do the same. We as humans have altered the ecosystem to produce imbalance so its our job to aid in the rebalance.
This proposal crosses a range of ethical, moral, legislative and aesthetic issues. It threatens public safety and tourism values along Great Lakes coastlines. It also goes against fundamental resource management principles.

Hello,
Please watch this video of Gail Fraser logical explaining why this bill is unreasonable.

Repeal this bill and actually study the issue before proposing legislation.
