Table of ContentsReviewsI can say without hesitation that The Subjugation of Canadian Wildlife will be an important contribution to this field. As someone who has been involved in wildlife management issues for several decades, I have not yet encountered a book that so beautifully and intelligently explains how the current system of thought and practice came to be. Rob Laidlaw, biologist, author, and founder of Zoocheck This is a very important book. You have to ask yourself whether, if a large country like Canada, with a well educated population, generally inclined to look favourably on wildlife, cannot manage its wild species sustainably, what hope is there for the planet as a whole? The wake-up calls have been so loud, for so long, that our brains no longer hear them. Perhaps that is why Max Foran felt he had to adopt such a strident tone in this book. It is a very sobering read. The Canadian Field-Naturalist Foran provides a detailed history of humans' treatment of animals; chapters evaluate Canada's Species at Risk Act, killing rather than protecting apex predators, threats to terrestrial and marine habitats, and the importance of large, unfragmented protected areas. The text is exceptionally well documented with 54 pages of citations and a 65-page bibliography. The philosophy and biodiversity will be of interest to the general public, while the main narrative details will appeal primarily to conservation professionals. Recommended.
