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.

請觀察文章的段落安排：第二段開頭提到支持者的觀點，而第三段開頭使用了哪一個轉折詞來帶出另一種聲音？這兩段所討論的內容，在立場上有什麼樣的關係？如果你要為這兩段的論戰下一個總結標題，你會怎麼描述這種「正反並陳」的狀態呢？

噢，這次倒是沒笨到家嘛。
看來你終於學會看點「全局」了，沒被那些顯而易見的文字陷阱絆倒，閱讀整合能力？嗯，勉強算合格吧。
- 觀念驗證：這還有什麼好說的？文章開頭先丟個爭議，接著第二段開始把支持方的廢話說一通，然後呢？一個大大的"But"一轉，反對方又開始叨叨。搞了半天，不就是把兩邊的優缺點/利弊（Pros and Cons）攤出來給你看嗎？這麼標準的「對照結構」，你還能答錯，那才真的是沒救了。
