Summary:

"This is a book about wildlife and the law. More specifically, it is a book about laws in the United States that impact the fate of wild animals in the United States and throughout the world. However, unlike other wildlife law books that stop at the courthouse doors or the legislature, this is a book that underscores the compelling ethical and moral issues that are inextricably intertwined with our legal treatment of wild animals."-- Back cover.
