      title = {Beyond the North American model of wildlife conservation :  from lethal to compassionate conservation /},
      abstract = {The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation (NAM) is  the driver of a strong anthropocentric stance, which has  legalized an ongoing, annual exploitation of hundreds of  millions of wild animals, who are killed in the United  States through trapping, hunting and other lethal  practices. Increasingly, the American public opposes the  killing of wild animals for recreation, trophies and profit  but has little if anyknowledge of the Model. With a focus  on trapping, this book exposes the NAMs belief in human  supremacy and its consequences for wild animals and their  ecosystems, the same value that is driving the ongoing  global destruction of nature and accelerating species  extinction. Motivated by a deep concern for wild animals  who suffer and whose lives are extinguished each year by  sportsmen and women, this book exposes the violent  treatment of wild animals inherent in governmental-promoted  hunting and trapping programs, while emphasizing the  importance of empathy and compassion for other animals in  conservation and in our lives.},
