Endangered animals are animals that are in danger of becoming extinct. This means that there will be no more of these animals alive on earth. An animal is considered endangered or "threatened" when there are very few of them alive. There are also some animals that only exist in captivity (for example in a zoo).

Furthermore, zoos give us easy access to rare animals. Had it not been for zoos, we would have never been able to see what some animals looked like. We enjoy their behavior and it also creates awareness about the extinction of the rare species. Similarly, zoos are a safe breeding ground for animals.

Animal rights endanger biodiversity, because they prevent breeding endangered species in captivity. Animal rights prevent the reintroduction of locally extinct predators to restore an ecosystem. A ban on hunting prevents human beings hunting down animal predators even to protect prey animals.

Alot of animals, especially endangered species like tigers and rhinos, are illegally killed for commercial purposes. By keeping them caged, we are actually preventing their extinction. For example, some zoos have breeding programmes for rare animals which could -be targeted by poachers if they are left in the wild.
