This is a question which really has no easy answer. Originally, zoos were a place where people could see exotic animals in small cages and the general attitude was "plenty more where those came from". Zoos do not look at animals that way anymore. They consider themselves safe havens for the many species whose numbers are dwindling rapidly. Valuable habitats throughout the world are being destroyed on an hourly basis and there are fewer and fewer places for many of these animals to live. Fortunately, the face of zoos is changing and public education, as well as, breeding of threatened and endangered species has become their main focus. There are also many programs that zoos are involved in, where second and third generation zoo-born offspring are being returned to protected areas in their native countries. Unfortunately, these are few and far between and poaching is still a problem even in those places.They have food and water available at all times and don't have to deal with predation and other issues that would factor in, in the wild.Zoos aren't the only answer, but at least they are a safe place for many species to live safely and procreate, and to give people a close-up encounter to appreciate what will be certainly gone from this earth if we continue the path we're on.

That's kind of a biased way of phrasing the question. Some animals in some zoos do begin to exhibit behavioral disorders.
