ABSTRACT
Four authors assess moral issues related to the hunting of wild animals. Aldo Leopold calls for a greater cooperative spirit among protectionists and sportsmen toward common concerns for wildlife and argues that hunting plays an important role in the economics and management of wildlife wellbeing. Lawrence Cahoone argues that hunting is not a sport but a neo-traditional cultural trophic practice consistent with ecological ethics. Further, some forms of hunting are less damaging to animal populations overall than farming, and even vegetarian diets.
