Thoreau, for example, expresses wonder, and a respect for wild animals. He argues that “the best use” to which wild animals can be put is that of their own purpose in living. The point he wishes to make on behalf of wild things is that their wildness is the happiest prospect for them. In sparing the animal we spare Ourselves.
