On Hunting
Roger Scruton - 2002-12-06 (first published in 1998)
Goodreads Rating
Discover the complexities of humanity's love, fear, pursuit, and fleeing of other species through the lens of fox-hunting. Roger Scruton's illuminating and deeply personal book explores the emotions stirred by this ancient practice and offers a delightful portrait of the people and animals involved. Experience the mysteries of country life and discover the love of animals that prevails over the pursuit of them. A plea for tolerance toward a sport where nature is the center of the drama.
