She delves into the hard and disheartening facts of rampant violence in the practice of hunting and trapping and how ‘wildlife conservation’ has been hijacked by sportsmen. Heister successfully argues that it's high time to eradicate the ‘Wildlife Conservation-Industrial Killing Complex’ and bring compassion and justice to wild animals.” ---Marc Bekoff, The Animals' Agenda: Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age and A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans. The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation (NAM) is the driver of a strong anthropocentric stance, which has legalized an ongoing, annual exploitation of hundreds of millions of wild animals, who are killed in the United States through trapping, hunting and other lethal practices. Increasingly, the American public opposes the killing of wild animals for recreation, trophies and profit but has little—if any—knowledge of the Model. With a focus on trapping, this book exposes the NAM’s belief in human supremacy and its consequences for wild animals and their ecosystems, the same value that is driving the ongoing global destruction of nature and accelerating species extinction. Motivated by a deep concern for wild animals who suffer and whose lives are extinguished each year by ‘sportsmen and women’, this book exposes the violent treatment of wild animals inherent in governmental-promoted hunting and trapping programs, while emphasizing the importance of empathy and compassion for other animals in conservation and in our lives. Anja Heister, PhD, is an independent researcher, writer and life-long animal rights activist. A co-founder of Footloose Montana, an organisation working toward an end of trapping on public land in Montana, Anja is committed to social change for animals and publishes frequently on topics related to wild animal conservation, animal liberation, ethics and policy.The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6680Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsAgricultureApplied ethicsPhilosophy of natureEnvironmental policyEnvironmental managementAnimal EthicsAgricultural EthicsApplied EthicsPhilosophy of NatureEnvironmental PolicyEnvironmental ManagementAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Agriculture.Applied ethics.Philosophy of nature.Environmental policy.Environmental management.Animal Ethics.Agricultural Ethics.Applied Ethics.Philosophy of Nature.Environmental Policy.Environmental Management.639.9333.95416Heister Anja1263806MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910624379703321Beyond the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation2962666UNINA
