Steven Rinella ist Autor mehrerer Bücher, die sich mit Wildtieren, Jagd, Fischfang und dem Kochen von Wildgerichten beschäftigen. Seine Arbeit erforscht die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur und betont oft ethische und nachhaltige Praktiken bei der Gewinnung von Wild und Fisch. Durch seine Schriften und gefeierten Shows zielt Rinella darauf ab, Leser und Zuschauer mit den Erfahrungen der Nahrungsbeschaffung aus der Wildnis und der Wertschätzung der Wildnis zu verbinden.
Steven Rinella ist der Sohn eines Jägers, der seine Leidenschaft und Liebe zur Natur schon früh an seine Söhne weitergegeben hat. Tiere töten und essen beschreibt anhand von zehn Jagdabenteuern die Entwicklung Rinellas vom zehnjährigen Naturburschen zum 37-jährigen Großstadtvater, der seine Familie von der Jagd in den entlegensten Gegenden Nordamerikas ernährt. Rinella thematisiert dabei auch immer wieder die Hintergründe der Jagd, ethische Gesichtspunkte des Tötens, den Reiz von Jagdtrophäen, die Verantwortung, die der menschliche Räuber gegenüber seiner Beute besitzt und das Verschwinden des Jägers aus der Gesellschaft, seitdem den Menschen die Verbindung zur Herkunft ihrer Nahrung zunehmend verloren geht. Ein wichtiges Buch für alle, die nicht auf den Genuss von Fleisch verzichten möchten und dem Vegetarismus-Trend kritisch gegenüberstehen.

Thankfully, with the right mindset, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Now, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America.
