You shouldn't have built your zoo in South-Central Los Angeles. Crime everywhere.

There should just be a "fix all for xxx amount cash" corresponding to the amount of things currently broken. Having to go around doing it manually one by one is not manageable in larger zoos and frankly not something i want to waste time on when I have a horde of highly trained staff that should be capable of maintaining simple upkeep.
I found pretty much the same: the only way around it seems to be keeping the guests less angry.
For me that seems to be based on what animals I keep, as I can never have enough food/drink to keep them happy (unless I fill my zoo with vendors). My starter zoo with more basic animals had a lot more issues than my albino cat breeding zoo. Fancy animals = happier guests = less guests trashing things (even if they're hungy and thirsty).
Guards and cameras don't prevent it, and mechanics are very bad at repairing things (or aren't repairing them at all), so not having it happen in the first place seems the best option.
This has been plaguing me too, so I've made an issue tracker (here)! Please feel free to help confirm it.
Done... as one can realized on my pityful english... without a edit function XD
At least i know now that i am user Frontier User #6689dc8f3aa44f5
I think guests only vandalize stuff if they are unhappy about something. Make sure that the guests aren't in the sphere of influence from Staff buildings and there are no overlapping speakers.
They may also be hungry/thirsty. You can try putting a small eating area and bathroom near where most of the vandalism happens.

There are two different ways things get destroyed from what I've seen. Essentially malicious intent and by accident. Thing like bins and benches that are on a pathway that is way to full (regardless of size) will often get destroyed just by accident by the masses of people trying to push through. That is the scenario where opening up the path or redirecting flow will help.
Though its annoying given the pathfinding in the game since the guests pretty much always (or 90% of the time) take the shortest route regardless of guest traffic density. So side cuts don't help much if at all in most cases.
Yea i realized a certain stubborness when trying to lure them to side cuts.
But well, personally i don't care anymore, my huge zoo is dead, i will tinker around a little with smaller settings where
the broken animal food system can't kill me.
On 10-15 habitat zoos with 10m wide paths not much will happen.
