Pro:
Provides a very personal experience with animals compared to watching them on a TV screen. Rescuing endangered species. Animals are kept safe/healthy with regimented food and medication that they wouldn't get in the wild.
Con:
Animals are taken away from their natural habitat and all thats important to them. Some animals develop a condition called "zoochosis". The animal is seen swaying back in forth in a state of oblivion. This condition is so common in zoos that animals are now being given anti-depressants like Prozac. Wild animals are also unable to thrive in such small, enclosed environments.
