After years of reflecting on the absurdities of life on other planets Douglas Adams decided it was time to think about life on this planet, and the absurdities of what we are doing to it. ...they went to Indonesia to find the maneating dragons of Komodo; to New Zealand to find the world's largest, fattest, and least-able-to-fly parrot; to China to find the blinded and deafened river dolphins of the Yangtze; to Mauritiaus to find the world's rarest and most sexually confused kestrel; to Zaire to find some of man's closed living relatives, the gorillas, the world's most endangered rhinos, and some customs officials who ought to be endangered but seem not to be."

"With out sentiment or prejudice, James Dewar explores many facets of man's exploitation of wild animals, exposing an extensive, ruthless and profitable trade. The persistent demand for animals in medical and military research is emptying the jungles of monkeys and provides suburban pet thieves with easy money. Animal dealers often depend upon sumgglers and dirty supply lines for consignments of exotic animals and birds. He looks at the case for and against vivisection and experimentation on animals and disentagles the hard facts which lie behind a wall of professional secrecy on one side, and the sometimes near-hysterical crusading zeal on the other. The Rape of Noah's Ark also reveals that many zoos, far from contributing to conservation, actually drive some animals mad."
