i believe it is wrong to keep animals in zoos for many reasons some of these are:
Animal rights reasons * it treats the animal as a means to achieve some human end * it fails to treat animals with the respect they deserve * it violates the animal's right to live in freedom Animal Welfare reasons * the animal is deprived of its natural habitat * the animal may not have enough room * the animal is deprived of its natural social structure and companionship * the animal is forced into close proximity with other species and human beings which may be unnatural for it * the animal may become bored, depressed and institutionalised * animals bred in zoos may become imprinted on human beings rather than members of their own species - this prevents them fully experiencing their true identity * although animals may live longer lives in zoos than in the wild, they may experience a lower quality of life Conservation issues * a zoo may be unable to keep a large enough number of individuals to provide a sufficiently varied gene pool for the species to breed without problems * where animals are rare and hard to breed in captivity, removing specimens from the wild to zoos may result in the population falling * returning animals to the wild is difficult * the benefits to the overall species population do not compensate the individual animals for the negative effects of living in a zoo

∙ 15y agoWell it is and it isn't. It is because they won't be killed and hunted if they are in a zoo and they won't kill each other either. It isn't because all the animals shoud have a right to roam around and go where ever they please.

∙ 15y agoUsually zoos now days only keep animals that cannot live in the wild for various reasons. When this is the case, the zoos are doing the animals a favor, and I believe there are regulations which ensure the right treatment of animals. If the animals are provided with a habitat similar to their natural surroundings, and are fed healthy food, have enough room to move around, and are in the zoo because they can't be in the wild, then I believe that it is not wrong. Sometimes zoos help preserve endangered species, and they breed the animals to attempt to save the species. So, in general, no I do not believe it is wrong.
