Hunting Ethics - A Personal Journey

Hunting Ethics - A Personal Journey by Nick Fox, £20

What drives humans and other predators to hunt? Is it ‘wrong’? Is it ‘immoral’? What are morals, who decides them and who is in a position to tell others what they should do?

Join Nick Fox on a journey through the tangled ethics of our relationships with animals in this jargon-free easy read. The author discusses the myriad forms of hunting, and the reasons why we hunt, welfare issues, ethical values and habitat management. Also covered:

• The roots of our behaviour that we share with other species

• The psyche of the predator, the hunter-forager

• Welfare issues in hunting and benchmarks of social acceptability

• The evolutionary mechanism of morality

• Moral communities and moral maps

• Ethical values, who shares them, who judges them, and who enforces them.

• Welfare of species, habitats and land ethics

• Habitat management at the international and global levels

"A brave, extraordinary and important book that confronts the most difficult discussions around hunting head on." Chris Packham CBE, Wildlife Presenter.
