The Zoo???!
And I'm sorry this has nothing to do with food, I just didn't know which group to submit it to.
Answers: I'm a strict veggie and all for animal rights but here is the thing. My preschool class is going to the zoo and I don't know what to do. Of course there are other teachers to go so that is not a problem. Please give me some insight into why I should or shouldn't go. Thank You!

Ask lots of questions. Zoo's are good for education but bad if the animals are kept in cruelty. So ask questions: - ABOUT HOW THE ANIMALS ARE KEPT~
If more people asked, zoo's would have to learn to be more careful about how they treat animals.
Well, to put it in perspective, by not going, and not giving them your entry fee, that's five bucks less that goes to the animals for their feed rations. On the flip side, they see "oh, wow, we got 1256 visitors today instead of the usual 1255, so I guess zoos are pointless" and animals will never be caged again. Or at least that's the hope, right? But I think it's symbolic.
its actually to know how different v r from other species.if noone goes to the zoo,atlast the zoo controllers has no other way than leaving the animals free into the forests
Dang. I was hoping this was a question about the song by the Scorpions!
Exactly what are your options? It's up to your convictions as to why you should go or not. How passionate are you? If you do decide to tough it out, just think of the zoo as a bunch of people's pets because people with pets are just mini-zoos anyways.

Here's some information about zoos:

I care about the extinction of endangered species, but I don't think that warehousing animals in cages is the answer. Keeping animals in cages deprives animals of their most basic needs - flying, swimming, running, scavenging, partner selection, etc. Life in captivity is both physically and mentally frustrating to animals and often leads to neurotic behaviors like pacing, swaying, self-mutilation, etc. Confining animals to zoos keeps them alive, but it really does nothing to protect wild populations. In most cases it is impossible to return captive-bred animals to the wild; the animals in zoos haven't learned survival skills. The millions of dollars that zoos spend on warehousing animals could better help wild animals if it were instead spent on habitat preservation projects.
I personally would not go. Hope this helps.
