KILLING GAME: The Extinction Industry
KILLING GAME: The Extinction Industry by Eduardo Goncalves is one of the best books on endangered species available. It focuses more on Trophy Hunting, which it claims is hastening the extinction of many endangered species. The book was released on the fifth anniversary of Cecil the lion's death.
In general, it demonstrates how Trophy Hunting can be the end of some of our most prized animals, such as lions. It goes on to say that the extinction of the species could be triggered by the deaths of just 5% of the current adult male lion population. According to the book, by the year 2050, there may be no lions on the planet. That is a sad reality!
Aside from lions, the book goes into great detail about the impact of poaching on African elephants because of their tusks. The insatiable appetite of poachers and trophy hunters for this animal's tusks is gradually driving it to extinction. Elephants are being slaughtered on a daily basis for their invaluable services, which will make you wonder: where will the jobs come from if all the elephants are gone?
Several scientific studies have found a strong link between trophy hunting, poaching, and wild population declines. This book also mentions Chinese White Rhinos, Black Rhinos, Leopards, Cheetahs, and Polar Bears (whose genitalia is an ingredient in many traditional Chinese medicines). The book is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions.
