from the excerpt to support your response.

Answer 1

that there are 2 sides to the article

Step-by-step explanation:

The central idea of the article “Excerpt from What Zoo Critics Don’t Understand” is that there are two sides to the story. The author explains, that some people believe that zoos and aquariums are good for animals. As the text states, “I can tell you first-hand that the animals at SeaWorld Parks receive world-class care.” This quote shows that the animals are being well taken care of and not in harm’s way. The other statement shows that SeaWorld should be closed down, and the animals to be set free in the wild. The author states, “Dr. Jane Goodall… said two elephants in a zoo in Seattle should be released… and that SeaWorld should shut down.” This quote shows Dr. Jane took one look at SeaWorld and wanted to shut it down because of the two elephants she saw in Seattle. Overall, Jack states that somewhere you live does not make it a home, it is somewhere you feel like you belong. Dr. Jane’s opinion is that it does not matter whether you are living there temporarily, or not, it is the wild that the animals belong to.

Answer 2

The main idea is that not every zoo has to be bad for an animal, many zoos in the world save the species while in the “wilderness” people kill them.
