23. Garbage dumps do not harm wildlife. Evidence is furnished by the Masai-Mara reserve in Kenya, where baboons that use the garbage dumps on the reserve as a food source mature faster and have more offspring than do baboons on the reserve that do not scavenge on garbage.

Each of the following statements, if true, casts doubt on the argument EXCEPT:

(A) The baboons that feed on the garbage dump are of a different species from those that do not.

(B) The life expectancy of baboons that eat garbage is significantly lower than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.

(C) The cholesterol level of garbage-eating baboons is dangerously higher than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.

(D) The population of hyenas that live near unregulated garbage landfills north of the reserve has doubled in the last two years.

(E) The rate of birth defects for the baboon population on the reserve has doubled since the first landfills were opened.

I couldn't decide between A and D but now see you are right.

It's subtle and retarded, but I think they are making a distinction between "dumps" and "unregulated landfills".

As for A, I think the logic is that something that harms some species and not others is still "harmful to wildlife"

The issue I initially had with D is that you could see pop growth as bad, since they will run out of their food supply and compete, particularly absent waste. But LSAT problem writers never go that deep, so it is D.

Sure thing. Best thing for the wildlife population would be for all of the hyena population to die.

There is no other answer that is remotely close.

I think the implication is the pop raise because food supply supported a larger population. No basis to assume they run out.

Lol no it’s because the hyena population is growing near the dump so it supports the argument that dumps do not harm wildlife. The other answers undermine the point.

I guess you can quibble about whether it truly “supports” the argument if you have a PhD in ecology but it’s quite obviously the correct answer for the reason I stated. The others are not remotely close. But both D and the original question have population increasing which suggests that the dumps are not harming wildlife.

I guess it’s possible that the population of the hyenas near the dump is increasing for other unstated reasons but nothing here is casting doubt on the original premise.

Whatever the absolutely right answer may be in some aspie hypothetical world, the reality is the test writers are looking for certain types of answers subject to certain implicit constraints. Correct mentalization is part of the test.

the reason A isn’t right is that it provides an alternative explanation for the trash eating baboons maturing/having offspring (they’re a different species). this obviously casts doubt on the claim.

Not a lolyer:

Why is it not A? D is not necessarily a good thing, if the hyena population doubles in only a span of two years then there's no way that's a good thing for the local wildlife. A predator population increasing that rapidly is going to fuck with the populations of prey species. A negates the evidence that the baboons that feed on garbage grow faster, but it doesn't cast doubt (unless I'm an idiot). Pls spoonfeed me.

A undermines the argument since it shows that it might not be the dump that is causing the difference in birth rates or whatever.

yeah but they're only a part of the wildlife, their sudden population boost could destroy populations of prey animals which will eventually harm the hyenas as well. Hyenas, being a predator, aren't necessarily better off in such a quick boom to their population either. A, at worst, seems to negate the argument that it's good for wildlife, but D seemingly implies that it could very well be a bad thing.

I've already stated my argument in the subthread. I read above that LSAT questions aren't meant to be read into that deeply, which supports D being the answer, as the evidence that a higher hyena population is superficially a good thing, but then again, I'm not a lolyer.

it doesn't need to be a "good thing", the answer choice just needs to not explicitly harm wildlife for the argument to hold true. hyena pop growth, without additional info, is neutral to "wildlife" and does not discredit the argument posed

how so? it is a non sequitur that does not allow us to cast doubt on the original argument, but it does not "support" it.

if this question were framed differently as "which of these answers supports the claim presented?", i don't think the hyena answer would suffice

How does it not support to say that hyenas are thriving in a place with a dump? Of course it's not airtight - it doesn't say they're actually eating the garbage or discuss possible alternative explanations for the population increase.

I think the difference between a 164 and a 171+ is picking up on the nuance that this is a neutral statement that doesn’t support the argument, but doesn’t call it into question either. Realizing that can help you on other questions on the test.

This is based on a real world example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC387823/

“ Through a heartbreaking twist of fate, the most aggressive males in the Forest Troop were wiped out. The males, which had taken to foraging in an open garbage pit adjacent to a tourist lodge, had contracted bovine tuberculosis, and most died between 1983 and 1986. Their deaths drastically changed the gender composition of the troop, more than doubling the ratio of females to males, and by 1986 troop behavior had changed considerably as well; males were significantly less aggressive.”

All the alpha monkeys ate the trash and prevented the betas from eating the good shit. Then they were so high t they died from the trash and the beta soyboy monkeys took over

Seems like it should be D just b/c all the info given is irrelevant:

Different location

Possibly different kind of garbage (dump vs unregulated landfill)

Different animal that I thought was more predatory than scavenging

Did the population double b/c of the garbage? B/c of the baboon population increasing? It just doesn't offer anything of value.

i agree it's embarrassing. you spend the whole post focusing on how things are "different" from the original scenario and argue that this makes the answer choice irrelevant. i'm not sure what makes you think this but it betrays an inability to think abstractly and apply established logic to novel situations

for the claim the question making to be true, it has to be generalizable to all of wildlife. he's not saying dumps are not harmful to just chimps. the chimps are an example.

so your emphasis on "different location", "different dump", "different animal" as if this somehow makes the answer choice not germane to the claim can only be the result of a 2 digit IQ

Linked above:

"Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer. Saying that a population of hyenas living near garbage landfills has doubled has absolutely no harmful effect on this argument, primarily because (1) we don't know anything about the hyenas' behavior (do they eat the garbage?), (2) we don't know if the doubling population is normal, healthy growth or if it should have increased even more, and (3) we can't assume any connection between that growth and the landfill itself."

"(1) we don't know anything about the hyenas' behavior (do they eat the garbage?)"

ie the fact that it's a different animal doesn't tell us anything

"(2) we don't know if the doubling population is normal, healthy growth or if it should have increased even more,"

I said "Did the population double b/c of the garbage?"

All of that is brought up in his explanation. I understand that it's about general wildlife and that the point is that it doesn't refute or cast doubt on that claim, but is either neutral or supports it. If it's neutral it's because that information doesn't tell you anything of value toward the claim, ie it is irrelevant. I don't think I contradicted any of that.

It’s been about two decades since I took the LSAT and I knew the right answer the second I read it. 175 scorer here.

this question is more about eliminating a, b, c, e right away and then knowing right away that the answer is D..it's not about analyzing D too deeply

Who said anything about deep analysis? I immediately knew a, b, c, and e were wrong and d was right my first time reading through the questions and answers.

To be clear, a, b, c and e are obviously wrong. So you could you use process of elimination. But d is also clearly right. Because I am not a retard I knew the right answer immediately without having to resort to some lsat test taking strategy.
