The focus of Wildlife Law, Regulation, and Falconry addresses the abuses of wildlife management at the Federal level through the lens of the art and sport of falconry since it is here the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has extended its power way beyond any recognizable limits – providing an observation point for us to analyze abusive government – but it is not confined to the subject of falconry. The book takes the reader through the history of wildlife management from Roman antiquity, through the British feudal period, and finally to the U.S. in order to demonstrate both useful and abusive regulatory systems in the context of wildlife use. The book addresses the causes, as opposed to the symptoms, of the current draconian regulations natural resource users labor under. This is done in the context of the true purpose of law and government, i.e., governing for the benefit of all versus for special interests, which are often polar opposites
