The first zoo was originally created for private users only because the wealthy thought that seeing exotic and cool animals should only be for them and not the lower class individuals. Unlike back then lots of people today are happily going and seeing the animals thrive in their habitats, but some people over the years have raised some concerns about if the animals are being treated in the right way. Or overall if the zoo is a safe environment for them to live in, but I do think that sometimes zookeepers if the animals are being rowdy and could potentially hurt them that it would be okay if the zookeepers had things to protect themselves.
I do understand that some people will think the zoo is just locking cute and cuddly animals into cages but they also should know that 80% of mammals that are in a zoo tend to live longer than the animals that are living in the wild. Plus zoos have been able to save 30 plus endangered species from extinction. And how they help with preventing extinction is that all zoos actively participate in breeding programs.
In conclusion I believe that zoo are not tutoring these animals but are actually helping them, because there's tons of information on how they breed their animals and how they have saved over 80 percent of animals because they have no predators unlike the wild setting dose because there are no poachers but friendly zookeepers that work with them everyday and care for them. So in my opinion I do believe that zoos help their animals rather than hurt them.

Do you think zoos hurt their animals rather than help them? No, because, as you said, animals that live in the zoo tend to live longer than animals in the wild. Also, the animals in the zoo are often hurt for their being taken care of and being nursed back to their full potential. Then by the time they are all the way healthy again, they are not fit for the wild so they keep them and show them off.
I think that zoos are helping animals and it is fine that animals are in there. Zoos provide a safe environment for endangered species and offer medical assistance to animals that need it. The animals could live longer in a zoo rather than in the wild because there is no danger out to get them. So that is why I think zoos don't hurt animals but help them.
Do you think zoos help endangered species? No, i think it actually helps keep more and more species alive. Do you think zoo animals are getting the necessities they need that wild animals get? Also no, they won't have the same environment because they won't have all the resources to become like that environment.
I agree with you bacause animals do get more help than they would get in the wild.
Do you think zoos hurt their animals rather than help? No, this is because they have helped keep endangered species from going extinct. They have done this by taking in some of the endangered animals and breeding them. After a while there would be enough to prepare them and eventually release them into the wild.
I think some animals get hurt from being at zoos more than others. Some animals can adapt to their new habitat whlile others cant as well. I think zoos help some members of the endagered species by ensuring their survival but if they take too many of them it will hurt the species. I think it depends on the zoo and the treatment of the animals but I think zoo animals get what they need but its not as good as if they were in there natural habitat.
I do think that it keeps animals away from there natural environment and going into the real life and exploring outside. I also think a lot of people don't like it because they think that the animals are treated in a bad way because of how they are living. I personally think that we shouldn't keep them in zoo and let them live in the wild.
3.) I think they are getting the necessities they need, but not what they would have in the wild, or would normally have. This is because they are not in their actual habitat, and are in a replica instead. Animals will most likely not receive the actual food they eat and potentially receive designated foods filled with proteins and other nutrients.
I think that Zoos are perfectly reasonable establishments. Most animals in Zoos are born in captivity and would have little to no chance in the wild anyway, and greatly improve their lifespans. Different types of rehabilitation centers are more well-suited for releasing creatures back into the wild, which makes the expectation of having zoos do the same thing a bit foolish.
I think that zoos are helping the animals. They get everything they need to help them survive. They are also not around predators that could kill them. I think the zoo keepers should be allowed to have things to protect them. I feel like the animals are getting most of the necessities that they need but probably not all of them.
