Book Reviews of On Patrol: True Adventures of an Alaska Game Warden (Caribou Classics)

Book Review: If you like wildlife, don't buy this book
Summary: 1 Stars

I've never thrown a book in the trash until now. This guy was a fur trapper before he got a job with Alaska fish & wildlife. There are not many worse ways you can torture an animal than to trap it's leg or nose/head in a steel trap for days. The only reason he quit trapping was because the price of furs plummeted. He then applied to the state to poison wolves and shoot them from planes, which, although initially turned down, he did. I have no interest in reading a book by an ignorant individual who thinks of himself as some kind of hero/adventurer and protector of wildlife just because he had an official title from the state. If you love wildlife, don't subsidize this kind of absurd, dimwitted way of thinking. Buy a book by Jack Hanna, Jane Goodall, David Attenborough or someone like that instead.

Summary of On Patrol: True Adventures of an Alaska Game Warden (Caribou Classics)

Take to the air with veteran bush pilot and game warden Ray Tremblay in these lively adventure stories of Alaska?s early game-law enforcement. During a career spanning nearly thirty years, Tremblay earned the respect of his fellow pilots and game cops, as well as biologists, trappers, hunters, and fishermen who appreciated his sincere concern for the protection and wise use of the fish and wildlife in the Territory, then State of Alaska. Gifted with good humor, common sense, and uncommon storytelling ability, Tremblay offers two dozen remarkable first-person accounts that are worthy of laugh-aloud and read-aloud status?to the guy in the next room.
