Synopsis

Should hunting be encouraged or discouraged Does growing urbanization -and our subsequent loss of contact with the natural world negatively affect our health, happiness and behaviour Is it possible that initiating youth to hunting might alleviate some of society's ills Combining his personal experiences and stories, along with his research, Gibbins says yes to these questions, and with the style of a natural-born storyteller treats the reader to his reasons why. Life is, in its very essence and character, a terrible mystery - the whole business of living by killing and eating. But it is a childish attitude to say no to life with all its pain, to say that this is something that should not have been.
