Zoos are used for "storing" animals from the wild and showing them to the public in cages/enclosures which generates income (money). The enclosures are spread out over a large area of land, the area is called a zoo. In my opinion putting an animal in a zoo is very cruel. I think this because the animals need freedom and the visitors might frighten them.

Zoos are often used in breeding programs, which help build up endangered species numbers. Money gained from public admissions to the zoo, are also used to feed and provide the veterinary care needed to keep them healthy.

Although not ideal, as animals are better in their natural surroundings, the general public get a chance to see animals, that they would probably never get a chance to see in the wild, and also help with conservation of such animals.
