From the ethics of helicopter hunting and the roles of pets in RV parks to the growth of insect-based tourism, Animals and Tourism: Understanding Diverse Relationships offers a unique and fascinating window into the recreational use - and misuse - of the creatures we share our world with. Hal Herzog, Western Carolina University, USA This important and timely anthology addresses many of the practical and ethical implications of making other animals the subject of our holiday activities. With essays on everything from the most common forms of animal tourism (whale-watching, dolphin tourism, bird watching) to the less well-known (entomotourism, helicopter hunting, meat-tourism), this book will offer the animals studies scholar, conservationist, or animal lover much to think about.
