I believe it's outrageous to conduct this mass culling of the double breasted commoronts. Especially because in the past while their numbers were dwindling, MNR thought to revive the species by creating habitat and laws to help revive them.

Hello, I'm writing to voice my displeasure with the proposal to initiate a hunting season for Cormorants. First, it's dangerous to enable hunters to shoot at these birds from a boat in the water as people walking on land could get injured or killed as a result.
