Varner, Gary E. "Can Animal Rights Activists Be Environmentalists?" in Donald Marietta and Lester Embree (eds.), Environmental Ethics and Environmental Activism (Rowman & Littlefield, 1995): pp. 169-201

The received opinion in environmental ethics is that animal rights views are inconsistent with sound environmental policy because they would imply that hunting is immoral, even when undertaken to control overpopulation and prevent habitat degradation. I argue that this is false insofar as animal rights philosophies modeled on the works of Peter Singer and Tom Regan can support hunting, at least in those cases where environmentalists feel compelled to support it.
