Zoos are essentially arks these days, places where we can monitor and protect species' gene poolswithout them most of the spectacular animals you see on documentaries would have died out in the wild
Human intrusion in their native habitats has simply made it impossible for most endangered animals to cope 'naturally' in the wild
I think tigers are quite content to live in an enclosure; fed like kings, vets on hand, and free from predators (humans), for me to marvel at
Bearing in mind the panthera can sleep for about twenty hours a day; it's not as if they need to rush around in a jungle

It kind of makes you wonder how those species got so amazing without us wonderful humans meddling in their shit for the last few million years.
