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.

Why are animals in zoos instead of the wild?

Some zoos have animals just for show and they breed them there. Other zoos just have endangered animals: animals that are injured and cannot survive in the wild, babies that have been abandoned or separated from their parents or endangered species. But some zoos have a mixture of both... :)


Do zoos preserve endangered species?

Zoos are keeping endangered animals in the zoo, to try and help the species by breeding them. If they can get them to reproduce and have healthy offspring that will be able to breed in the future, they are contributing to the species population in general, and the diversity of the gene pool for the species. The hope is that in the long run the species will not be endangered anymore. Also if the species is still endangered, or needs serious conservation work, we might have had time to learn new techniques, and technology to make other advances that can make a major difference in helping maintain the health of the species populations.
