It depends on the animal, as well as the methods and conditions with and under which it is being kept. If it is a feral animal, that was once wild, there are very few ways to give it a captive lifestyle that will be beneficial for it. However, if it is a domesticated animal, like a cow....letting it out into the wild with coyotes and mountain lions would most certainly be detrimental to its health.

I must assume that you are speaking about feral animals being put into captivity, and no, they are generally not healthy animals in this state. However, there are very ethical and wise captors out there who do an absolutely stupendous job treating and caring for their animals. So, it is a possibility that a cpative animal remain healthy in camtivity, as it is said above, it depends on the methods and the treatment therein.

Yes, but only in some captivities. There are also helpful captivities where animals are kept when they are young and then are let to live on it's own.
