They are both. They are helpful because they take in animals which need help and are becoming extinct through the rape of the environment by man. Through breeding programmes animal numbers are increased and can be re-introduced into the wild, or at least a game reserve. Zoo animals live longer because they are protected from disease, famine and predators. Typically a lion will live 20-25 years in captivity or 15-18 years in the wild. The probability, right or wrong, of weaker offspring surviving to adulthood is greater in captivity. Zoos normally have a strong symbiotic affiliation with the local veterinary college. As knowledge through study develops, so the care of the animals, worldwide, is improved. Zoos allow us to get close-up and personal with animals that we cannot keep as pets. Many wild animals from hot climates tend to do little in the day, so to see them lazing about or looking lethargic in their compounds is not as unnatural as it seems. It's harmful on the other hand because it takes animals from different parts of the world, breaking up colonies, and moves them to a different environment with diverse climate and habitat and restricts their natural movement from miles to feet. The animals will be in close proximity with neighbours they would not normally encounter and contract diseases they cannot fight alone. It is proved that science experiments involve zoo animals. The regulation of zoos in emergent countries and private collections in the 'developed' world is abysmal and the keepers often untrained. The animals are fed inferior processed food as their meagre diet. Without proper stimulation and space, animals become bored and develop behaviours like sucking and biting the bars, pacing back and forth. The likelihood of attacks on keepers increases and can lead to the animal being destroyed. A zoo is nothing compared to an animal's original environment. Animals become dependant on their keepers for everything. They have no control. They expect the food and water to come at the same time everyday and if it comes an hour or two later they feel starved and become distressed.
