Meant to Be Wild
Praise:
Even if this is not the type of book you'd usually read, I'd encourage everyone to read the epilogue at the very least.
Criticism:
I think the author fails to realize that captive breeding is not a decision made lightly. It is an imperfect solution and there can be serious biological consequences to a species, but it is not used when a solution with fewer consequences can be found. Saying "captive breeding has consequences, animals should persist in the wild" is like saying "surgery sucks, our appendixes should just not burst." I believe we would not have animals like the red wolf, black-footed ferret, and California condor in the wild today had it not been for captive breeding. Note: I don't mention other species discussed in the book, simply because I know too little about those cases to have an opinion.
