Zoo: Is it Good or Bad?

Most people just go to the zoo as a regular activity. No one actually thinks about what goes on or what people, or even the animals, think about this. The zoo's sometimes misstreat the animals. I mean do you actually think the sea lions or other domestic anymals are trained just like that? Yes they are given positive reinforcement. (such as food or toys) Does anyone think of what happens when the animals mess up? Not only that but they are not allowed to be with their families. Many of the animals are taken away from their parents at a young age so they can be exibihited for others to see at the zoo. Those animals will neever get to experience the real obstacles and dangers in life. Their habitats will never be exactly how they would be out in the wild. On the bright side though sometimes these zoo keepers capture and endagered species and allow it to reproduce so we can have more of that species (ex. the panda) Still though, these animals have less space and sometimes they are forced to interact with other species who dont really like each other. I think they shoudl have better ways to show these animals or improove the exhibits but please stop messing with the poor innocent animals.
