Double-crested cormorants should be protected and not exploited for the greedy commercial fishing industry that already threatens our wildlife and the well being of our lakes and waterways.

Thank you for finally addressing this serious environmental concern.
We are environmentally conscious and live on the lakefront in an area that is impacted by the
rapidly growing colonies.

I represent and speak on behalf of the Ontario Sportfishing Guides Association (OSGA) as President, there should be an open season to shoot/hunt for Double Breasted Cormorants.

I am not in support of listing the birds as game. Doing so ignores long-term environmental protection and evolution, as these cormorants are a native species to the region, which migrated to the Great Lakes via natural/climatic conditions.

I strongly oppose this hunting season on the Cormorant. Mainly it sets unreasonable and inhumane limits (basically no limits), an unreasonably long hunting season, and will allow the random slaughter of wildlife that can be left to rot.

this is absolutely disgusting. Murdering MORE innocent animals. Humans are the most vile beings on this earth because so many WANT & FIND PLEASURE in MURDERING INNOCENT ANIMALS. There is too much LEGAL murder done already & now you want to include more innocent souls?

Blaming these birds for water pollution is another way to pass blame, owning up to own mistakes doesn't make money, but hunting does and everyone knows that. I can't understand why people feel so entitled to kill these birds for the problems humans cause.

Hi, there, I’m concerned by the size of the cull. 50 birds a days per person for several months each year seems un-necessarily high. There isn’t anything in the bill, or information I can find as context for the bill, that explains why the numbers are so high.

I agree with your proposal to allow the hunting of these birds... It takes no time for the birds to completely ruin a forest and because of droppings makes it impossible for humans to enjoy.. thank you.
This speacies has gone through to much on its own and has just now sprung its self back from the break of exctinction. Now that its risen up we want to put it back down? This is not right! It has obvisosly gone through to much and to now allow the hunting of it should not be allowed.

I believe that any hunting season for the double crested Cormorant should not be during the breeding season. This breeding season is shared with other birds and will also be reducing their numbers as they may abandon their nests and leave their young of a different species to also die.

Allowing open hunting will be detrimental to the environment and the society. If birds with young are shot, the young will either a) die or b) be sent to wildlife rehab centres which will require more manpower and money to take care of.

I am opposed to hunting cormorants. These are a native bird, that has only just recovered from near extinction. It is not an edible game bird, and hunters will only see this as a target practice.
