Are zoos harming animals more than they are benefiting them?

I personally think the damage is increased because they learn to be calmer around humans, which will not help around poachers, because they won't bolt or anything, and poachers usually hunt illegally, which will lead to extinction.

Poachers would know better then to make a species extinct they poach to make money not to wipe out a species if they wiped out a species they would stop making money.

Of course animals should grow up right just like God intended them to do. God would never want them to be lefty liberals.

Despite the fact that the lives of the animals within captivity are easier, having food handed to them and guaranteed shelter etc, there is no mistaking that if man hadn't interfered in the first place there would be no need to save animals from extinction. sadly i feel it is too late to let them stay in the wild where they belong because numbers have been made too small, but if this was not the case, i would certainly say that they should stay in the wild.

Even in optimal conditions, some experts contend, it's incredibly difficult to provide for the needs of animals like elephants.

Also I disagree with you that it is benefitting for animals live in zoos. I dont contradict that people in zoos are taking care about animals, however not so better as in national parks , where wild animals can live as they want. They can hunt, breed and people always will look for them.

The zoos are doing a fine job with keeping animals in captivity and the visitors like to see all of the different animals.

There are animals that were close to extinction that are now thriving because people take them into zoos and protect them. And having zoos is a great way to educate people about animals too. If it weren't for zoos most people would never see certain animals there whole life.

Wild animals was borned to run across miles of open terrain, but not live in close cages.

With that logic we should be running loose in the woods as well. But we've found better ways to live, and can help other species live better as well.
