Description
This casebook draws liberally upon the subject's rich history in law and culture, with biology and ethics playing key roles throughout. Animals are living entities, organized into shifting, complex ecological systems, so biology plays a critical role in the story. Moral sentiments and ethical values have expanded to attend to the plight of particular animals, to species, and to the healthy functioning of communities, so ethical concerns appear as a key issue. Topics covered include:The Rule of CaptureWildlife and private propertyLiability for wildlifeState proprietary and sovereign powersThe roles of state and national governmentsIndian treaty rightsInternational wildlife lawState game lawsFederal protection for species and wildlife habitatBiodiversityEndangered speciesClimate Change
