Well, the reasons for that aren't all that pretty, Galenna. You see, back in the old days, most people didn't move around that much; most didn't see anything besides the village they were born in... the animals had to be brought to them. THe rich people who didn't move around much had their own private zoos, while the groups that brought animals to other people were called menageries... but they both started with the same premise; hunt down animals, catch them, and take them away from their homes, then show them off to other people at a profit. These together eventually became some of the older zoos, as well as the basic concept of zoo.

The other reason is rather worse.
