Zoos are considered to "do more harm than good" simply from an extremist abolitionist animal rights' stand point. To see such points expressed in a sensational manner, please see the related link below to read PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) views and facts on animals' lives at the zoo.
It should not go without being said, however, that zoos are there to educate people about the animals raised there and natural conservation practices that go into the maintaining of wild populations of certain wildlife. Many people cannot nor do not have enough money to go on a round-the-world trip to see all the animals they can simply got to a zoo to see, and nor would they invest or donate the money to save certain animals in other countries. They would, however, pay to see such animals to give their children the kind of experience they would never get if no such animal sanctuaries existed, as well as learn things about the animals that will never be found close to their own home.
Zoos are also there to help breed and increase population of species that are considered endangered, critical or near extinction, or to establish a population of animals that are needed because animals in the wild are facing serious crisis (such as a rare cancerous disease in Tasmanian Devils) that could lead to their extinction. Animals at many zoos are treated humanely and always with their welfare in mind; many animals (which constitute most, if not all) born and raised in zoos are not able to survive out in the wild should they be released. This is because they have recieved too much human exposure and training to be deemed able to survive on their own looking for food and escaping dangers such as predators and more aggressive animals of their species. Exceptions are animals raised in conditions where they do not receive adequate human exposure to render them tame because of the plan to release them into the wild. An example of this is the raising of Black-footed Ferrets to be released back into their natural grassland habitat in southern Saskatchewan.
Because Zoo's take animals from the wild and keep them. this can cause the animals to lose their wild characteristics. if the zoo keeps these animals too long they will end up having Babies which will have baby too. this will go on until the zoo has too many of that specie so they will try to sell them. unfortunately for some animals the zoo cant find an other zoo for that animal to live in so they will release it out in the wild again but as i said earlier the animal will by that time be completely tame. Not able to survive without a zoo keeper to take care of them in the wild. The animal will in the end die.
if it goes on like this for a lot longer this species of animal will become extinct
