Zoos can have both positive and negative effects on society. On the positive side, zoos provide educational opportunities for people to learn about animals and their habitats, and can help to raise awareness about conservation and endangered species. Zoos also provide employment opportunities and can be a source of revenue for local economies. On the negative side, zoos can be seen as a form of animal captivity, and some people argue that animals should not be kept in captivity for human entertainment. Additionally, some zoos have been criticized for not providing adequate living conditions for the animals, leading to animal suffering.
