animals should not be kept in zoo's, even though they are well fed and cared for nowadays they cannot exhibit their natural behavior characteristics that would normally be present in the wild, this in turn produces stress which will affect the health and well-being of the animals

∙ 12y agoThe same reason people should not be kept in confinement for the amusement of other people....freedom. Animals were not meant to be objects of entertainment for humans, and they specifically evolved to operate in their given environments and ecosystems. Studying animals is one thing, but keeping them in zoos so people can look at them is questionable...some zoos do a decent job of taking care of the animals and trying to simulate their natural habitats, while others are less proactive.

∙ 15y agoThere are those who agree and those who don't. The don'ts would argue that zoo's are a false environment that cause undue mental and physical sufferingand the animals would be better off in the wild even if the ultimate outcome was extinction through diminishing habitat, disease and predation. Those who agree with zoo's would argue that endangered animals can be bred, studied and treated safely in captivity and returned, disease free, to the wild in viable numbers to repopulate habitats.i agree!

∙ 14y agoWhen a wild animal is mistreated by puting it into a zoo then it should be set free. When a wild animal needs vet treatment then it should be temperarily held in a zoo. When an animal that is normally wild has been born in a zoo and cannot fend for itself outside a zoo then it should remain in a zoo. When an animals habitat has been destroyed or seriously damaged then it should be held in a zoo until then habitat is restored

∙ 11y agoWell... A zoo should have exciting animals such as Tigers, Lions Giraffes and Hippos. But I do think A zoo should have at least 3 different endangered animals just to protect them

∙ 12y agoNo, some animals from endangered species live much longer than those in the wild, but then again, some animals can be raised wrong, but that's %10 percent of the time.

Why do zoos let the animals go back to their natural habitat?
Because some zoos don't keep the animals for entertainment. Some zoos are there for conservation efforts, which means that they take endangered animals out of the wild, to a saf place where they can breed. They then release the animals back into the wild in an attempt to allow their numbers to grow back into a healthy population.
Is the zoo a cruel place for animals?
There are two sides to this question. Some zoos keep animals locked up in enclosed spaces without enough room to exercise, or without any similar animals for company. Other zoos have large open spaces where the animals can roam freely, like in their native habitat. Some zoos have taken animals that are endangered and are trying breeding programs to prolong the species.
