Unit 5 · Weakening Arguments
Gabriella's Zoo Argument — Find the Weakener
Lesson 3 of 9
About this lesson
Gabriella says zoos should be banned — animals belong in the wild. Then option C quietly points out that some species only exist today because of zoo breeding programs. If they were banned, those animals wouldn't be in the wild. They'd be extinct.
