The United States Bureau of Destruction and Extermination: The Misnamed and Perverted Biological Survey

The United States Bureau Of Destruction And Extermination: The Misnamed And Perverted Biological Survey is a book written by the Emergency Conservation Committee. The book exposes the unethical practices of the Biological Survey, a government agency that was responsible for the extermination of wildlife in the United States during the early 20th century. The authors argue that the agency's name is a misnomer, as it was not concerned with the conservation of wildlife, but rather with their destruction. The book provides a detailed history of the agency and its practices, including the use of poison, traps, and other cruel methods to kill animals. It also highlights the agency's role in the near-extinction of several species, including the bison, the wolf, and the grizzly bear. The authors argue that the Biological Survey was part of a broader movement to exploit and dominate nature for the benefit of human beings, and that its legacy continues to shape wildlife management policies in the United States today. The book is a powerful critique of the destructive and exploitative attitudes towards nature that have characterized much of American history, and a call to action for a more ethical and sustainable approach to wildlife conservation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
