Does hunting promote violence towards humans as well as animals? Is it an outdated activity, unnecessary in modern times? Is the heritage of hunting worth preserving? Through extensive research and fieldwork, Bronner takes on the many questions raised by the problematic subject of hunting. He reflects on the social, psychological, and anthropological issues of the debate, reevaluating notions of violence, cruelty, abuse, and tradition as they have been constructed and contested in the twenty-first century.
