Comments for Killing the Cormorants at http://pacificfreepress.com , comment 0 to 4 out of 4 comments http://pacificfreepress.com Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:59:37 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://pacificfreepress.com/content/view/1800/81/#pc_1816 Are you serious? Besides being impossible, it's not going to restore the ecosystem the cormorants have destroyed. There are nine listed endangered species there that Parks Canada is legally required to protect. It's hard to believe a so-called enviromental group like Peaceful Parks is not only against protecting endangered species, but they argument is that it's ok for the Carolinian ecoystem to be destroyed, because it exists elsewhere. So is it ok for polar bears to disappear from Ontario, or caribou, or fish with northern ranges that barely make it into southern Ontario? They all exist elsewhere. For that matter, where's the proof cormorants are native to Lake Erie in anywhere near the numbers they currently exist at. Cormorants are from northwestern Ontario. - JC_Science Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:01:54 +0100 http://pacificfreepress.com/content/view/1800/81/#pc_1537 Hasn't human activity destroyed the environment?... who's worse, us or the birds? - guest Fri, 16 Nov 2007 18:24:47 +0100 http://pacificfreepress.com/content/view/1800/81/#pc_1487 We visit the area frequently. Sure it's messy, but so what? Is that a reason to kill them outright? Where else are they to go? They are driven off of any other suitable habitat - that is the only sactuary left for them. Instead of killing them, they should clean the island regularly. It may not be the easiest solution, but it's the right thing to do. Maybe you want to revisit your opinion. - a guest Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:16:39 +0100 http://pacificfreepress.com/content/view/1800/81/#pc_1486 Come visit. See what the birds have done to their surrounding environment. You may want to revisit your opinion. The damage is not from agriculture or expanding cities (as you claim). They have decimated islands where none of your agriculture or urbanization issues exist. - a guest Mon, 29 Oct 2007 03:31:13 +0100
