"Killing for Sport" by various is a guide book that contains different articles on hunting. The book reveals a variety of interesting subjects for modern huntsmen. Some of the notable titles cover economics, agriculture, ethics, and cruelty topics. Contents include: "The Cruelty of Sport", "Shooting", "Hare-Hunting and Otter-Hunting", "Spurious Sports", "The Ethics of Sport", "Sport and Agriculture", "Pheasant or Peasant", "The Cost of Sport", "The Reality", "The Economics of Hunting", etc. No book of sport breathes such a wrathful spirit as this book of humanity. Excerpt: "It is a favourite rhetorical device of the vivisectionists to divert argument from the main question into side issues by instituting a comparison between vivisection and the various forms of field-sports, such as pheasant-shooting, for example. It is hardly necessary that I should point out the futility of such controversial methods; for, as Horace long ago taught us, there is no use in an illustration which merely substitutes one dispute for another. Vivisection may be wrong, though pheasant-shooting be right; while if pheasant-shooting be wrong, it is obviously absurd to appeal to it in aid of the cause of vivisection."

Killing for Sport was previously published in 1915 at a time when widespread attention was being drawn to questions concerning the land, it was especially fitting that the part played by the sportsman should not be overlooked, and that not only the cruelty, but the wastefulness of the practice of breeding and killing animals for mere amusement, should be made clear. By including in this volume a number of recent essays, the work of several writers (each of whom is responsible only for the views expressed by himself), it has been possible to present the subject of sport as regarded from various standpoints. The book, in fact, is the first one in which the humanitarian and economic objections to blood-sports have been adequately set forth.

Excerpt from Killing for Sport: Essays by Various Writers In a civilised community, where the services of the hunter are no longer required, blood sports are simply an anachronism, a relic of savagery which time will gradually remove; and the appeal against them is not to the interested parties whose practices are arraigned - not to the belated Nim rods who find a pleasure in killing - but to that force of public opinion which put down bear baiting, and which will in like manner put down the kindred sports (for all these barbarities are essentially akin) which are defended by similar sophistries.

Leizman, a PhD (in some unnamed field), provides a brief overview and a review of sports literature, then discusses violence in ancient Greek and Roman sports, in early American sports, and in the writings of one or two philosophers; current administrative and legal remedies to violence in American professional sports; his Zen Buddhism/martial arts-based alternative to violent western training models; and several proposals for controlling violence, including limiting consumption of alcohol, reducing noise at games, doing away with mascots, instituting penalties for fighting, and holding professional athletes legally responsible for injuries they inflict.
