Some animals can handle captivity fairly well.
Other species such as the dolphin or killer whale don't handle captivity well: Teeth break from chomping on steel bars (lack of stimulation), premature deaths, they get stressed (separated from pods) etc.
One advantage of keeping animals in captivity is to provide a ready food source for people instead of going hunting. Another use is as a pet. A third reason to keep animals in captivity is to put them in zoos, so people can get familiar with them, and to save them from extinction in the wild. They will also get a lot of food from us and will also be taken care.
Sometimes, having an animal in captivity can be good. For example, a baby that lost its mother would benefit from being raised by profesionals who could help it learn how to survive in the wild. Then, once it has reached maturity, they could let it go in a natural habitat. That type of captivity would be good for the animal. Sometimes, though, the people can't take care of the animal correctly and it dies.
When amimals are kept in captivity they can be looked after. Also they could be endangered and can be protected in captivty. But one bad thing is that enclosers should be bigger.
By being bred in captivity it eliminates the animals from being eaten by natural predators. We take animals into captivity to prevent extinction by eliminating factors of death.

To an extent, yes. Animals lose some of their ability to effectively hunt, but not to necessarily kill. Animals learn hunting strategies from members of the family or by watching others. Some even learn just by doing it. In captivity, animals dont need to use those skills. If an animal were being rehabilitated, the people running the camps would try and make it as "natural" as possible for the animal.
Fifteen percent. I think. no, 100% every thing dies
