Most animals are in zoos because they have been rescued from pet trade or injury. Some of them have been born in captivity as an effort to increase population of endangered species. They are not living in "jails," they would die in the wild. Get educated.
I feel like I have a biased perspective on zoos. In Ireland the zoo is actually full of large enclosures and the zoo priorities research and collaboration with zoos around the world for conservation efforts.our zoos are really nice.
Depends on the zoo, like who would have expected a zoo in Omaha, Nebraska to have one of the best zoos in the US / world. Obviously every zoo could improve and do better, but a lot of them tend to just take animals that can't live in the wild or attempting to bring the population of wild animals back while doing research.
