Counter:Zoos create happy memories in many families and inspire many people

Rebuttal: the animals in the zoo may not be as happy as the visitors because they are locked in a cage for show which is not right because animals should have their own freedom just as humans do

Counter:

Most zoos treat animals very well. They also provide protection to the animals and have the ability to help endangered species.

Rebuttal:

Zoos are inhumane. It is wrong to keep living creatures captive. Animals in zoos usually do not have the ability to survive in the wild due to being fed by humans.
