This book explores the psychology of trophy hunting from a critical perspective and
considers the reasons why some people engage in the controversial activity of killing
often endangered animals for sport. Recent highly charged debate, reaching a peak
with the killing of Cecil the lion in 2015, has brought trophy hunting under unprecedented
public scrutiny, and yet the psychology of trophy hunting crucially remains under-explored.
Consideringall related issuesfrom the evolutionary perspective and inclusive fitness',
to personality and individual factors like narcissism, empathy, and the Duchenne smiles
of hunters posing with their prey, Professor Beattie makes connections between a variety
of indicators of prestige and dominance, showing how trophy hunting is inherently
linked to a desire for status. He argues that we need to identify, analyse and deconstruct
the factors that hold the behaviour of trophy hunting in place if we are to understand
why it continues, and indeed why it flourishes, in an age of collapsing ecosystems
and dwindling species populations. The first book of its kind to examine current research
critically to determine whether there really is an evolutionary argument for trophy
hunting, and what range of motivations and personality traits may be linked to this
activity. This is essential reading for students and academics in psychology, geography,
business, environmental studies, animal welfare as well as policy makers and charities
in these and related areas. It is of major relevance for anyone who cares about the
future of our planet and the species that inhabit it
