Question

Defend the logging company's reasons for taking action in the following scenario:
A logging company discovers a patch in the forest that has a number of sick trees. After diagnosing the problem, they discover that the sick
are not contagious. However, they are blocking sunlight from reaching underlying plants. The loggers cut down the sick trees and plant
seedlings in their place.

Answer 1

Answer:

They were totally in the right

Explanation:

The loggers felled trees in order to clear the diseased trees that are not worth saving, letting the plants under the trees receive the necessary sunlight in order to live. Therefore, the loggers did what was best for the overall health of a forest and stopped a potential outbreak of sickly trees even if at the time of testing they were not considered contagious.

Answer 2

Answer:

They did the right thing

Explanation:

because if they cut the diseased trees down they put seedlings there so that there will be new healthy trees in the diseased trees place.
