If by 'right' you mean nutritional and healthful foods, then obviously yes.

If, however, you mean the foods the animals would eat in their natural habitat, then often the answer is no. For one thing, not all food plants grow in all parts of the world; and few zoo-goers would want carnivorous animals (such as big cats and bears) to chase down live prey for their meals.

I'm afraid they don't. The zoo keeper is too busy with other animals and gives them the same everyday. They do not get the nutrients they need, and we really need to stop this from happening ASAP.

Do animals in zoos go crazy?

That's kind of a biased way of phrasing the question. Some animals in some zoos do begin to exhibit behavioral disorders.

Do zoos abuse animals?

Yes, zoos do protect animals. If they were out in the wild many wouldn't have any chance of surviving. But in zoos their food, water, any supplements, or shots they need are brought to them. Any medical attention they need is available for them. They are usually cared for and have enough room to move, play, and many times they are given "enrichment toys and food". Plus they are protected from their predators, and babies abandoned are hand reared. Almost all zoos protect the animals from the visitors too, not allowing the guests to harass them, throw things at them, or be too loud, or taunt the animals. It's not always perfect or ideal, but as a general rule, most zoos that are accredited, or certified do try to protect and care for their animals.
