I think wild capture should be avoided in almost every case but I'm not anti-zoo. A good zoo provides adequate space, care and stimulation for its animals and even though this isn't comparable to the freedom they would have if they were wild-born, it's not an unsafe or uncomfortable life. Also, it's an arrangement that has valuable returns. Lots of zoos use their profits to subsidize conservation efforts or dedicate facilities to breeding programs, and this has kept some species from extinction.

Then there's also the public relations aspect. People will only act to save animals they care about, and generally, they only care about animals they can come to know. Zoos help the public connect with animals in a way that ideally helps them see the value of biodiversity. They can also provide education about the natural world and conservation.

I think they should because then if kids want to actually see a specific animal they could maybe go to the zoo. I think a zoo is you go there just to look at the animals and see what they really look like. Its really no big deal to go to the zoo anyway. I haven't been to the zoo is like a couple of years. I find it quite boring >.<

They should because in the wild they will most likely become extinct while in zoos they can still be in their own habbitat but be safe from captors and animals who find them as prey.

There's nothing wrong with keeping animals as entertainment/education. As long as the conditions are decent, I see nothing wrong with zoos.
