The book explores many of the questions of hunting and anti-hunting.It spends a surprising amount of time considering the question of whether human evolution was driven by hunting (perhaps because that has been one ofthe justifications for the continuation of hunting traditions), as well asa review of the emergence of anti-hunting themes and the animal rightsmovement.It makes an obvious error in the interpretation of Leupold'sstatement in the assignment of rights in the discussion of Leupold's landethic.The point of the book is to develop arguments against many of thecurrent justifications for hunting, and for the emergence of the notion ofanimal rights.It does not do a very good job of describing the currenthunting ethic in the US, nor does it describe the rather complexgradiations in that population.
