Some road-side crap hole, ya shut the thing down. But the majority of the zoos in the day and age are far from the concrete and steel they used to be.
The plus side of zoos greatly out shadows the negative.
Yes the animals might be stuck in captivity but through them they serve as ambadassors for their wild brothers and sisters. It gives the public a chance to connect and learn about things they would have never had the chance to before.
Zoos have also transformed greatly over the years. They are changing from the old concrete and steel pits/cages of the past to wide lush open habitats with live plants, waterfalls, etc. On top of changing the way they house animals they have also changed how they run things. Though zoos are still out to make money (to keep doors open since most are non-profit) they have and still are moving to more of a conservation and education outlook rather than strictly entertainment.
On top of all that, zoos work a great deal in rescue projects with injured wildlife as well as breed and release programs with endangered species. For example sea world and other facilities in FL were being over-run with injured manatees to the point that they had no more room to house them. To help a handful of other zoos built exhibits where the injured/sick manatees could recover before they were released. With breeding there are many zoos who work together with the US govt as well as programs around the world to breed endangered species and release those that are born back out into the wild to help with new healthy blood lines. The California Condor would be extinct today if it was not for such programs.
Zoos also use the animals in their collection to help learn how to better care for those that are in the wild. Back to the manatee example. There is currently a virus floating through the wild manatee popluation that the science world has yet to figure out how it happened and how to stop it from spreading. Zoos are using their captive manatees with the virus to try and find a treatment or cure so that they can help the wild populations and re-release those that were sick.
So do I think animals should be kept in zoos? In this day and age it is a 100% yes. Because of what man has done to this world it is something that is needed. However, it should only be done for the right reasons and under the right conditions.

It really depends. Zoos help some animals if they're hurt and/or endangered. That helps a lot to the animals who need it. But they also take animals for no reason, or just to make their zoo bigger so more people will pay for admission to get into the zoo. Almost all zoos take in animals that are in perfect care, for entertainment to the customers. i think there should be a type of zoo that just takes care if animals who need it.

zoos are good in way, helping to educate kids about wild animals and also keeping endangered species and other animals, alive and thriving. But zoos are also a bit bad, as they debilitate animals, and allow them to become dependent on humans and captivity.

If zoos are maintained in such a way that it doesn't loose its natuaral situations and make the animals feel at home, its good. Otherwise its very bad
