Selected claim, opposing its parent
Zoos teach us about the importance of animals and how to look after them best.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
Without zoos, most people will never get to see animals like polar bears in real life. When we see these animals, we can understand how beautiful and important they are to keep safe.
Pro claim 2
Animals are important for the world's
ecosystem
(the balance between nature and animals). Zoos teach us how to keep this balance and protect our world from damage.
Con claim 1
We can learn about the importance of animals in school. Zoos are not needed and have too many downsides.
