Question

select the statement that is indicative of valuing species for their intrinsic value. cotton is an important crop because it can be made into fibers for clothing. wetlands must be protected because they provide flood control. wilderness areas are places that provide opportunities for reflection and enjoyment. factory farming should be abolished because it condemns chickens to short, miserable lives.

Explanation:

Intrinsic value means a species or area has value in - and - of itself, not for its utility to humans. The first three statements value things for their usefulness to humans (cotton for clothing, wetlands for flood control, wilderness for reflection/enjoyment). The last statement about factory farming values chickens for their own well - being, indicating an intrinsic value perspective.

Answer:

Factory farming should be abolished because it condemns chickens to short, miserable lives.
