    Some people argue that zoos are acceptable because they keep animals safe from harm in the wild by providing food, water, veterinary care, and protection from threats. However, others believe zoos are inhumane because they remove animals from their natural habitats and environments, confine them in unnatural conditions, and prioritize entertainment over the animals' welfare. While zoos say seeing animals up close can inspire conservation efforts, critics argue the confined conditions cause psychological distress and that animals deserve to live freely in their natural habitats.
