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. 410 0$aThe Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,$x2634-6680 606 $aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aApplied ethics 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aAnimal Ethics 606 $aAgricultural Ethics 606 $aApplied Ethics 606 $aPhilosophy of Nature 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aApplied ethics. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aAnimal Ethics. 615 24$aAgricultural Ethics. 615 24$aApplied Ethics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Nature. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a639.9 676 $a333.95416 700 $aHeister$b Anja$01263806 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624379703321 996 $aBeyond the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation$92962666 997 $aUNINA
