Do you think zoos are good or bad? Read the following articles from Newsela on the topic of zoos:
  • Baby chimp, neglected by mother, adapts to a new home in Florida zoo
  • Argentine court's ruling gives basic human rights to captive ape at zoo
  • Animal-rights group complains about Pittsburgh Zoo elephants
  • Some clever chimps stage escape at Kansas City Zoo
Has your mind changed? What new opinions do you now have?

Now read some responses, both for and against zoos, to the question "Are Zoos Good or Bad on Debate.org:
Debate.org
With wild habitats disappearing worldwide, what role (if any) should zoos have in the conservation of endangered species, research, and education? 


Weigh in on the topic, either for or against zoos, citing evidence from one or more of these sources to support your opinion.

Zoo´s are bad because they prevent animals from being free and running in the wild and seeing there species of animals which makes the fact that zoo animals might not know how to hunt or protect themselves.

Animals need space and they need to have the feeling that they could feel like they are free and not the felling like they are locked up for life.

I think animals need to stay in zoo's because animals can hurt humans and cause a lot of trouble, so animals need to stay in a cage so they will not hurting anything or anyone.

I think that the animals should be free because it is sad when you go to the zoo and then you the animals locked up that is why all the animals should be free.

I think animals should not be in zoo's . I think this because if you ever take the chance to see what the animals feel, you would feel bad. That is why they should just have a robot that looks like the animal. So the animals can be in the wild in peace.

Im in the middle of this debate. I think yes and no because I think if they find a hurt animal they should heal it and keep it alive. When the animal is healed they should let it go back into it's wild habitat.

I think that you should help an indangerd animal but if your foing such a bad job at taking care of them that the animals want to leave you then maybe you should call a zoo or a vet to make sure that the animal is alright and that is going to be comfortible and not try to escape.

I think zoo's are good because they take care of the animals good, but they can be not good too, because animals are suppose to be in the wild
