Hunting: A Balanced Perspective. This course was written by Charl F. Badenhorst, and was derived from his Masters Degree Thesis in Philosophy at the University of Stellenbosch.
This course is not about how to hunt or where to hunt. It is not written from the perspective of the pro or anti hunting lobbies, but rather it attempts to portray a balanced view of the hunting debate.
Both the pro-hunting and anti-hunting perspectives are examined in their own words and on their own terms. We trust that you’ll be able to reach your own informed conclusion.
WildlifeCampus does not take a specific viewpoint or position in this course, and we do not attempt to influence or sway the reader in any specific direction. The subject matter is emotive and controversial, but important. Hunting, in many of its forms is frequently mentioned throughout a variety of our environmental, guiding wildlife management and conservation courses, and thus a thorough exploration of the topic is relevant to the anyone with an interest in conservation.
