HOOK, LINE AND THINKER
Angling and Ethics
by
Alexander Schwab
Hard cover with dust jacket, 224 pages
"Anglers feel instinctively that their sport is not cruel. This book
explains why their instincts are right - and exposes the confused
philosophy of their accusers.' The anti-fieldsports lobby has led the
debate on hunting, fishing and shooting for the last decade. Hook, Line
and Thinker is a book which turns the tables on the 'antis' and takes a
fresh look at the assumptions which many now accept as facts. *
What is meant by cruelty? * How do you measure pain? * Who says
man is an animal, and that all animals are equal? * Is man a fish
without scales, or is he something different? * If catching and
releasing a fish is cruel, then how cruel is eating one? * When
fieldsports have been banned, will we be asked to become vegetarians
too? * Where does religion fit in with fieldsports? * How can
one justify keeping a pet cat, which tortures before it kills? Here
is a book which tackles these issues from the philosophical viewpoint.
It examines the ethics of the anti-fieldsports lobby and takes their
arguments back to their roots. The conclusions expose the precarious
philosophical ground of the anti-fieldsports lobby. It is they who
should be on the run."CHAPTER CONTENTS INCLUDE: - Inside the washing machine
