    Now listen again, and tell me why people support, or disagree with the idea of zoos

    Support:

    Zoos play a vital role in conservation


    Animals are protected (from hunting/ habitat loss/ predators)
    Breeding programmes
    Education
    Public will be more compassionate/ more likely to support environmental projects
    Support science/ Learn about animals physiology/anatomy/behaviour
    May help us understand our own species
    Rehabilitate wild animals/take in exotic pets

    Disagree:

    Zoos are mainly for profit/ entertainment


    Depriving animals of liberty
    Animals are stressed and bored
    Elephants in captivity don’t live for as long
    It is cruel to split up families
    Zoos sell older animals (to hunters/ circuses/ for slaughter)
    Zoos can be dangerous: animals can escape and harm people/other animals
    People don’t need to see animals at close range to care about them
