For the question about whether animals will benefit from living a zoo, I think it is no doubt that there are some advantages. First, living a zoo may increase the life expectancy of animals. For example, the average age of a wild panda is about 18th to 20 years old, but for a panda living in a zoo, the average age is about 25 to 30 years old. Second, living in a zoo means no natural enemy and predators. As a result of this, it is impossible to have an extinction. For example, sheep living in prairie may face dangerous predators like lions, leopards, other carnivores but sheep living in a zoo don’t face these problems. Third, there is no need for changing habitat for animals due to a lack of resources or the climate change because a zoo provides good conditions and food is provided on time. However, in some In some cases, living in a zoo is a mental torture for animals, especially a social animal, because zoo can’t afford to support many similar animals, and the social animals can’t have friends to communicate with. Moreover, some animals may even lose their natural abilities. For example, for a tiger who was born in a zoo, the tiger may not learn how to catch the food on its own. So in conclusion, in my opinion, keeping animals in zoo is not an absolute good thing or an absolute bad thing.
