The article states that zoos are essential to modern culture as it helps to place value in animal life and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecture explains that zoos don't benefit the animals or society and refutes all of the reasons presented by the author.
First, the reading claims that animals are treated well and animals live longer, eat better and suffer from fewer diseases in zoos. The professor opposes this by explaining that in most of the zoos treatment of animals is not as pretty as the article describes. He presented an example of a zoo where two red pandas died by eating rat poison. The safety manager of that zoo was not present when this happend. This incident clearly shows the lack of care of animals at zoos and supports the professor's proposition.
Second, the article posits that zoos are no longer a form of entertainment, rather a form of education. However, the lecture says that most of the cases, zoos are still considered as a form of entertainment. According to the professor, the animals are selected for the zoos based on their ability to attract visitor, not on the educational value. This practice encourages using animals for our own purposes. While some zoos aim at educating the visitors about the animals, but they also fail because they tend to be artificial and misleading exhibit.
Finally, the passage states that zoos help to protect and preserve endangerd species. The professor thinks that the claim is problematic. He refutes this claim by explaining that the overall success rate of zoos in case of protecting endangered animals is rather low though the article presents one example. Also, in encumbered environment the number of animals of a certain species is low and it results in interbreeding among the family. As a result, there is high numbers of birth defects. So, the professor claims that zoos don't have any distinctive advantage in case of preserving endangered species.
