Zoos exist because, if there weren't zoos there wouldn't be a place for animals to be cared for. The only place would be the vet's office. Also because we need to care for the animals in need, like the ones that are sick or orphaned. There are bad points about zoos but the zoo is mainly for people to see rare animals and for education, but lots of other reasons too.

∙ 13y agoAnimals are put in zoos for people's entertainment. When people go to zoos they pay money for their entertainment, which is the only reason people take animals out of their original habitats, money. They make wild animals miserable just for their own sake. Animals wre not created for our entertainment. Some zoos though, take in wounded animals that might not have been able to survive on their own.

∙ 12y agoZoos actually have multiple purposes. In addition to allowing people to see animals that they would never otherwise have the opportunity, it also teaches people. They learn about different types of animals and ecosystems. It also hopefully gives them an appreciation of wildlife. From another side of it, many zoos participate in breeding and preservation programs. They help to try to save and repopulate endangered species. They also have rehabilitation programs for injured animals. The zoo near my neighborhood has a rehab for injured Birds of Prey from the area. If an eagle, hawk, kestrel, or other similar bird is injured, they will take them in, fix them up, and then release them back if at all possible. They do the same in their manatee hospital. People can view the injured manatees, and it helps them see first hand the effects of not slowing their boats down in manatee areas. Once again, an added learning opportunity.

Where do zoos and the circus get exotic animals?
Zoos hunt animals in forests of course! They trap them and put them in cages, and then bring them to the zoo. Then the put them in bigger cages in the zoo, so that scientists can study them and people can enjoy them. Also, many animals are now traded for between zoos. Especially the long lived animals and those that breed easily in the Zoo's enviroment. Breeding and raising the desired animals for zoos, in order to have more of the endangered animals. With the advances in science and storage of sperm and egg, a breeding program can work with several other Zoo's programs to guard the genetic pools of those animals that need close watching. Alot of the seriously endangered are so hard to find in the wild, and the trapping and trip are phycially, and emotionally dangerous for the creature, that removing them from the wild is not a viable option for stocking Zoos any more.
