Killing is a fundamental characteristic of the relationship between humans and animals, which is bound up in both manifest and latent justifications for the practice. In this volume, particular focus is given to the killing of animals in ways which are said to be for some kind of 'higher purpose', be they sacrifices to appease the gods, representational purposes such as big game hunting, or in the service of art.
