Why do animals get separate with their families in different zoos?

Many times it involves expanding their gene pool or that of another zoo, or preventing any inbreeding within the enclosed environment in which they are born. If it is an endangered species, then there may be other objectives for the conservation and development of the gene pool, so they may be trying to maintain a healthy species. Also, it might not just be a matter of conservation, but sometimes babies are hand reared because the mothers instinctively reject one or more, as with the Giant Pandas. There are many different reasons, sometimes for the betterment of the species, and some to save just a single baby. But most of the time, zoos try not to spay and nueter the animals on a regular basis, so they try work around all of the different issues.

∙ 11y agoAnimals are either prey or predator. Why put an Elk in with a carnivore lion when we know the lion will eat meat? Also, animal types are natural enemies-- they don't "speak the same language" or body language, so they'd fight and get hurt.

Do Zoos make profit?
Of course. Zoos brag about conservation efforts and breeding programs to save endangered species, but it is all for profit. People want to see exotic, adorable baby animals. Notice zoos are never dedicated to breeding ugly endangered species. After cute baby animals grow up, they are traded, sold to circuses, or worse. Zoos do not care about splitting up families and emotionally damaging their animals. If zoos cared about wild animals, they would have sanctuaries in natural habitats to save wild animals from environmental degradation and human poachers. Zoos exist for human entertainment.
