SHOULD THERE BE ZOOS?

Wild animals and captive-born animals are commonly kept in captivity in such places as zoos, safari parks, shelters and aquariums. They are placed in captivity for different purposes - for the protection of endangered species, the welfare of injured animals, as well as for education and entertainment purposes.

Over the next week, students will explore a variety of related information addressing both sides of the issue - against zoos and in favour of zoos. Working together, students are to consider the issue and determine their own viewpoint.

Websites for and against zoos:
