Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 112 pp. ills. From the blurb: "Critics of country sports often use the 'green' bandwagon in Britain and other countries to attack these sports; it is therefore timely that J.N.P. Watson, himself a sportsman, conservationist and sporting writer of many years standing, has assembled a strong team of sporting 'greens' to put their side of the case.Answering those critics who condemn foxhunting as 'cruel', J.N.P. Watson argues that hunting with hounds saves a great deal of other suffering and does much for wildlife habitats. Charles Blanning's powerful defence of coursing suggests that the case against it is usually based on wildly inaccurate ideas about the pursuit of the hare. Diana Durman- Walters discusses the important conservationist work done by falconers for many birds of prey species. While Arthur Cadman condemns 'marsh cowboys' he shows how wildfowlers have helped ensure that duck and geese populations have been maintained or increased. Colin McKelvie believes that the grouse population would decline rapidly if shooting and sporting estate management ever ceased. He roundly criticises selfish shoot managers, especially of lowland game, who ignore ecological aspects of wildlife for commercial reasons. Richard Prior demonstrates how sport stalking assists the essential culling programme of deer and how revenue from it serves conservation. Sandy Mitchell, prominent among today's younger sportsmen - conservationists, and Crawford Little point to the fact that it is responsible fishermen who are the first to show real and practical concern for the conservation of our rivers and lakes and the fish that inhabit them. A Green Guide to Country Sports is not only a powerful, reasoned, and well-informed defence of these traditional sports, it will also be read, the contributors hope, as a discussion document for the future at a time when rural Britain and its wildlife is under threat from many different quarters."
