Reviews
"Across America, more people and predators are meeting unexpectedly. Unfortunately, the people have lost all understanding of the wild, while the animals have lost their fear of humans. The predictable results are ever-increasing predatory attacks on people and greater numbers of wildlife destroyed. Cat Urbigkit's well-timed, well-researched, and well-written book should be required reading. This book is well worth reading just for the pleasure of Cat's writing." -Jameson Parker, actor, writer, bear-attack survivor, www.readjamesonparker.com "Proactive approaches to manag[ing] attractants and inform[ing] the public of appropriate methods of interaction with wildlife are critical to successful wildlife management programs, as Cat Urbigkit hammers home in her book. She makes the case that modern wildlife management must provide for . . . [the] welfare . . . [of] wildlife and increased levels of human health and safety." --Scott Talbott, Chairman of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Association Human/Wildlife Conflict Committee
