{"product_id":"hook-line-and-thinker-book-alexander-schwab-9781873674598","title":"Hook, Line and Thinker","description":"Anglers feel instinctively that their sport is not cruel. This book explains why their instincts are right - and exposes the confused philosophy of their accusers.' The anti-fieldsports lobby has led the debate on hunting, fishing and shooting for the last decade. Hook, Line and Thinker is a book which turns the tables on the 'antis' and takes a fresh look at the assumptions which many now accept as facts. * What is mean't by cruelty? * How do you measure pain? * Who says man is an animal, and that all animals are equal? * Is man a fish without scales, or is he something different? * If catching and releasing a fish is cruel, then how cruel is eating one? * When fieldsports have been banned, will we be asked to become vegetarians too? * Where does religion fit in with fieldsports? * How can one justify keeping a pet cat, which tortures before it kills? Here is a book which tackles these issues from the philosophical viewpoint. It examines the ethics of the anti-fieldsports lobby and takes their arguments back to their roots. The conclusions expose the precarious philosophical ground of the anti-fieldsports lobby. It is they who should be on the run.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49592398348561,"sku":"GOR004862902","price":20.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1873674597.jpg?v=1750725796","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/hook-line-and-thinker-book-alexander-schwab-9781873674598","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
