Oregon needs federal approval to start shooting double-crested cormorants because the birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Anglin wrote that the birds are threatening restoration of wild fish protected by the Endangered Species Act, as well as hatchery fish important to sport and commercial fishing.

Since when were Salmon and Steelhead classed as endangered? It's just the fishing lobby wanting to kill everything else as usual.
It's a bit of a giveaway when the Oregon wildlife chief is called RON ANGLIN !!!!!
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
