No, I don't think that animals should be in captivity. They should be kept free, or on large tracts of land safe. While most zoo keepers know what they are doing, there is still a big risk to the animals for injury, as well as stress related physical and mental conditions due to the lack of stimulation, and the small enclosures. Also, the animals are entirely dependent on the keepers, inviting abuse if the keeper is so inclined. I don't believe there are lots such people in these jobs, but the potential is there.

It greatly depends on the situation and context the term is used in. Zoos and nature reserves are places where animals are kept in an enclosed space for education and conservation purposes. They enable people to see beautiful wild animals that they would never otherwise get to see, and educates the general public about the animals and the threats to their natural habitats. Some species, without captive breeding, would be long extinct such as Przewalski's horse which no longer exists in the wild.
Zoos and nature reserves today are constantly monitored to make sure the animals are in the best health and happiness. Each enclosure is specially designed for the animal living in it to keep it as close to its natural habitat as possible. Remember - these animals have been born in captivity. They do not miss "the wild" as they do not know what it is. This a far cry from the zoos in the past that were cold, concrete cages.
