The capture of a wild animal is justified only as a last resort to save that animal’s life. But many wild animals are captured not because their lives are in any danger but so that they can be bred in captivity. Hence, many animals that have been captured should not have been captured.
Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its pattern of reasoning to the argument above?
(A) Punishing a child is justified if it is the only way to reform poor behavior. But punishment is never the only way to reform poor behavior. Hence, punishing a child is never justified.
(B) Parents who never punish a child are not justified in complaining if the child regularly behaves in ways that disturb them. But many parents who prefer not to punish their children’s behavior. Hence, many parents who complain about their children have no right to complain.
(C) Punishing a young child is justified only if it is done out of concern for the child’s future welfare. But many young children are punished not in order to promote their welfare but to minimize sibling rivalry. Hence, many children who are punished should not have been punished.
(D) A teacher is entitled to punish a child only if the child’s parents have explicitly given the teacher the permission to do so. But many parents never give their child’s teacher the right to punish their child. Hence, many teachers should not punish their pupils.
(E) Society has no right to punish children for deeds that would be crimes if the children were adults. But society does have the right to protest itself from children who are known threats. Hence, confinement of such children does not constitute punishment.

Conclusion: Many animals that have been captured should not have been captured.
Why: Many wild animals are captured not because their lives are in danger but because they are going to be bred. It is only justified to capture a wild animal and remove it from its natural habitat if its life is in danger. Wild animals are being captured for reasons other than protection of their own welfare.
The only choice that mirrors this is choice C.
