These are problems with the

OTHER ARGUMENTS / REBUTTAL PHRASES TO BE EXPOUNDED:

1. Zoos are not prisons. A good zoo run by people who actually know animals
will have spacious exhibits designed for the species they house, with plenty
of food, water, and toys, and regular medical treatment. A lot of time,
effort, and money goes into designing and building the exhibits, and they
even hire experts to advise the staff on caring for the animals. It’s not like
they just throw the animals in a 10-by-10 cage and call it done. And on top
of that, zoos are absolutely vital in efforts to save endangered species.
2. Zoos should not be banned as they play a major role in preventing the
extinction of some of the species help and in the protection of the animals.
3. Zoos are a dynamic educational source that enhances our community. Zoos
raise awareness about jeopardized species and the significance of
preservation. Zoos may help us to comprehend animals. They offer a good
tool for our societies by lodging and dealing with creatures that may have
been in peril at one point in their life.
4. Zoos provide protection for animals. Some hunters may kill animals in the
wild for their skin so they can sell it. In a zoo, this can never occur. Another
reason that zoos should not be banned is that animals are really looked
after in the zoo. If an animal got sick in the wild nature there is no one to
treat it and most probably the animal will suffer from pain and may even
die.
