Persuasive Writing: Zoos
Our latest writing topic takes a look at the arguments for and against zoos, which many people have very strong feelings about. Some people believe that an important function of zoos is to breed endangered species and re-introduce them into the wild. If zoos were banned we would certainly lose some species.
Others see zoos as animal prisons; enclosures in UK zoos are about one hundred times smaller than for animals in their natural habitat.
A great topic for debate and discussion, it can also lead on to writing a letter with clear reasons, arguing in favour of, or against, zoos.
