Betta fish and beyond
567 Queens Ave London, ON, Canada

Alot of people i know and hang out with all like to go fishing... How long do people wanna be able to fish...Your children wont be able to..Your grandchildren d...efinitely wont be able to.. Why?? Cormorants!!!!!! These water birds are ravenous, disgusting eaters, eating their body weight everyday in the fish they eat.. These birds eat everything from baby trout and salmon, to small pike and young muskie... This year my father and i went fishing on Lake Simcoe, Ontario. Used to be the best lake around for perch and pan fish...Along with pike... We spent two days trolling, drifting and flipping whatever we could to get a rise out of some kind of fish... Not only did we not catch one fish, we didnt see a fish... the lake itself is clear and gorgeous. You can literally see bottom most of the lake..Not one fish though...Two days all over that lake and nothing there... However, the cormorants, all over the place, eating every fish in the lake..The lake is now a dead lake.. Nothing there for the kids, grand kids, or the avid fisherman... The biggest problem of this issue is that the government has protected these invasive cormorants and made them the top predator in our lakes and waterways...We need to do something before the stupid birds destroy our natural fisheries and kill the ecosystems of our lakes and rivers... I think it is time Canada to wipe them out..Fight back against these gross eaters of fish. Open season to shoot them will only slow them down, not stop them.. In the long run, we can keep their population lower than it is maybe we can gain our Lakes fisheries back...Lake simcoe is only the beginning.. See more

Just goes to show that even the stinkiest can be sweet :)

happy ending :))
