As we speak, in Serbia these birds are still hunted in August and September. In all European Union countries to the north and east of Serbia (except Romania), Turtle Doves are strictly protected. Money and effort are being invested in that protection. Ten years ago, those flocks were reduced to a few hundred birds.

Weidensaul traveled to each location to witness the research in process. I was especially interested in “To Hide From God,” the chapter on songbird slaughter and protection in Cyprus. Even if you have read about these research projects, Weidensaul’s accounts offer fresh angles and updated information.

So New Zealand began the process of clearing islands of mammals, using poison, trapping and shooting. Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans.
