@lilangel Most all zoo animals are born in captivity so they were never truly wild, and the majority of the ones taken from the wild today are rescue animals that would not have continued to survive in the wild so they are better off. Zoos also help ensure that extinction does not occur, and many rehabilitate to release back to the wild if possible.
