This volume, edited by Dorota Probucka, criticizes the modern
approach to hunting by incorporating legal, ethical, cultural,
social, theological, and linguistic perspectives into the analysis.
The collection of articles contains thorough argumentation against
hunting and determines social change strategies for eliminating it
from cultural behavior patterns. It utilizes the expertise of
Polish experts from many fields to describe and criticize the
practice of hunting, illustrate its inhumane nature and
unimaginable cruelty, and condemn the devastation of the natural
environment that comes as a direct consequence of the actions of
hunters. This volume argues that, unless dictated by biological
need, hunting as a practice ought to be outlawed and culturally
shunned, much like slavery.
