THE ETHICAL HUNTER IN AFRICA

摘要

To 62-year-old David Peterson, who lives in a hand-built mountainside cabin in Colorado and writes books about ethical hunting, the notion is simple: "If you're killing something and not eating it, you have no moral standing." Peterson, the author of Elkheart (Johnson Books) and On the Wild Edge (Henry Holt & Co.) shoots only with a bow and arrow, considers hunting a spiritual pursuit and spends what time he is not walking the woods working to save pub-lic lands. To him, hunting has nothing to do with ego, or trophies, or record books-the bragging rights that are the cornerstone of the typical African hunting safari.
