In this exacting assessment of the bounty policies enacted against the Tasmanian Tiger and the Newfoundland Wolf, Animal Genocide and its Aftermath provides a much-needed reappraisal of the legal, political, and social definition of animal killing. Analyzing natural history collections and cultural representations, this book advances a compelling case for viewing the bounty schemes as a form of genocide that requires its own historical reckoning. Ethical issues regarding the evocation of animal genocide in film, literature, photography and museum exhibitions are also explored.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
