their freedom. Obviously, they are wild animals and they belong to wild environment where they can freely run, fly or jump and keep them in one limited place and fed by humans is unnatural.
Second
, many zoos keep animals for the negative profit earning purpose. They held exhibitions and performs to

and entertain visitors.
However
, humans have no right to use animals for entertainment purpose, so that zoos have to close down.
On the other hand
, I believe that zoos play an important role in protecting wild animals. Nowadays, natural habitats are being destroyed seriously by human - beings.
This
problem leads animals into a poor situation which is losing their natural home. Zoos are the best place to protect animals from poacher and other threats
such
as habitat destruction and the urbanization, especially with endangered animals.
Otherwise
, when visiting zoos, people can have a chance to learn about animals and gain more awareness of protecting the environment from the public. In conclusion, zoos somehow exist some disadvantage and maybe cruel to animals, but we cannot deny the fact that zoos play an important role in protecting the habitat.
