Why read it?
1 author picked Cull of the Wild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Despite the charming squirrels cavorting on the cover, this is not a cosy book about cuddly animals. It's a clear-eyed look at what we need to do to preserve our endangered species from the dangers caused by more successful ones.
It's a scholarly investigation of if and when it's necessary to kill some animals in the interest of others' survival. Warwick himself clearly found some of his extensive research hard to stomach. It is a challenging, compelling book written in language any layperson can understand. It's a must-read.
