Short Answer
Identify for which claims,if any,support has been given in the following passage;and state in your own words the reasons that have been offered for these claims.
"A pine cut down,a dead pine,is no more a pine than a dead human carcass is a man.Can he who has discovered only some of the values of whalebone and whale oil be said to have discovered the true use of the whale? Can he who slays the elephant for his ivory be said to have 'seen the elephant'? These are petty and accidental uses;just as if a stronger race were to kill us in order to make buttons and flageolets of our bones;for everything may serve a lower as well as a higher use.Every creature is better alive than dead,men and moose and pine trees,and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it."
-Henry David Thoreau,"Chesuncook"
