Zoos benefit both animals and human beings. One of the central advantages lay in the education that people receive when visiting a zoo. They receive firsthand knowledge of how animals behave and act. Surrounding the exhibits, zoos usually have information describing the animal, its history and natural location. Learning about animals also brings empathy to many people, raising awareness about their endangerment in the wild. Zoos often take an active approach in helping animal population, as they breed captive species. In addition, animals are safe in the zoos, as they have security and food. Sick or injured animals can be treated immediately, giving them a higher chance of survival. Besides, animals in zoos are fed on a regular basis and there is no threat for them –particularly the young ones- about starving or get killed by other animals or hunters.
