Oh, the irony! As regular blog readers may recall, in a decision that ignored science-based advice from top experts, as well as government biologists, the government of Ontario declared the double-crested cormorant a “gamebird,” even though cormorants are virtually inedible. Long established tradition and law has decreed that legal hunting must be based on conservation principles and usage. Ethical hunters eat what they kill, and hunt within limits established to prevent endangering the species. That all got thrown out the window, and only under intense pressure did the government relent a small amount by reducing the season so it would not include the breeding season.
