Disagreement on Animal Rights in Entertainment

In a recent discussion about animal rights, two participants presented their viewpoints. Participant X argued that animals have inherent rights and should not be used for entertainment, asserting that it is unethical to keep animals in captivity for human enjoyment. Participant Y, however, countered that animals can benefit from the environment created by zoos, which can provide education and conservation opportunities. Both participants agree that animal welfare is important, but they disagree fundamentally on how that principle applies to the use of animals in entertainment.
