請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A zoo is a place where captive animals are put on display for humans to see. The focus of most modern zoos is conservation and education. While zoo advocates and conservationists argue that zoos save endangered species and educate the public, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits, and that the violation of the rights of individual animals—even in efforts to fend off extinction—cannot be justified. By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of other species, supporters argued. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. Besides, seeing an animal in person is a much more personal and more memorable experience than seeing that animal in a nature documentary and is more likely to foster an empathetic attitude toward animals. Some zoos help rehabilitate wildlife and take in exotic pets that people no longer want or are no longer able to care for. But from an animal rights standpoint, humans do not have a right to breed, capture, and confine other animals—even if those species are endangered. Being a member of an endangered species doesn't mean the individual animals should be afforded fewer rights. Animals in captivity suffer from boredom, stress, and confinement. Maintaining species diversity within captive breeding facilities is also a challenge. Animals sometimes escape their enclosures, endangering themselves as well as people. Likewise, people ignore warnings or accidentally get too close to animals, leading to horrific outcomes. In making a case for or against zoos, both sides argue that they’re saving animals. Whether or not zoos benefit the animal community, they certainly do make money. As long as there is demand for them, zoos will continue to exist.

動物園存廢爭議
💡 探討動物園在物種保育與動物個體權利間的辯論。
| 比較維度 | 動物園支持者 (Advocates) | VS | 動物權倡議者 (Activists) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 核心價值 | 群體保育與教育 | — | 個體權利與自由 |
| 圈養目的 | 保護、復育、研究 | — | 認為圈養是侵害權利 |
| 動物影響 | 提供安全無虞環境 | — | 引發無聊、壓力與病症 |
💬雙方爭點在於「群體物種存續」與「個體自由權利」的法理價值孰輕孰重。
