Some say zoos are wicked or evil, some may say zoos are great and interesting. In my opinion, I'd go with the fact that they're great and interesting. The main point of zoos is to educate people and save animals, but mostly save the animals. In fact, some animals live longer in the wild! Take giraffes for instance, they live up to 26 in the wild, but they live way longer in zoos than in their natural habitat. Therefore, just like Newton's 3rd law; for every reaction there's an equal, opposite reaction. For every negative, there's a positive to knock it down and soon enough, there'll be no more negatives.
Opponents will argue that zoo keepers are taking them away from their home and/or natural habitat. However, in the zoo, they are spared bullying, don't suffer threat or stress of predators, or suffer drought and/or starvation (Dr. Dan Hone). They'll also say, animals get bored in their zoo space, but they have other things to do there other than stare at people. Take the monkeys, for example, they have little play places in their cages.

This can be proven wrong in many ways, such as, it gives us information on the animal(s). Even so, it educates us to learn what they need and/or do not need as needed to survive.

According to Pearson, "The black-footed ferret is no longer endangered, thanks to breeding in zoos". This means that zoos are not only educating the public, but they're helping animals while doing
