I talk to Francesco Formisano from Altitude and Trails about the ethics of hunting. We explore how we lost our spiritual connection to the animals we hunt and eat. Why some cows are clever. We talk about tahr in New Zealand. His project to study animal pathologies in the New Zealand tahr population. And we forget to talk about how animals full of adrenaline taste like crap and why is a good reason to know your rifle or bow and ensure a swift kill. We may swear once or twice.

Ethics of hunting with Francesco Formisano

The resident photographer and videographer of Altitude and Trails, Fra lives in beautiful central France where he runs a veterinarian practice specializing in large animals. His interest in alpine animals evoked a masters thesis involving the autopsies of over 1000 wild goats and their causes of death. This in-depth study has given him a deep appreciation of the life cycle of prey and the necessities of responsible hunting. His hunts consist of a variety of deer, goat, and frequent vermin control while in Europe, although his newest love is the Himalayan tahr of New Zealand.

Ep 163: Francesco Formisano; Altitude & Trails

Francesco Formisano shares how as a man in his 30s discovered the challenge, joy, and rewards of hunting. He was a wildlife photographer and veterinarian who was never involved on hunting until he found the intimacy with wild places and animals and was illuminated by the hunt. He soon realized the benefits of harvesting his own meat which led to a healthier lifestyle. As his life has been changed by hunting, his relationships went from, “Hi, how are you?” to, “When can we get back in the mountains and share a campfire?”
