Zoos are to animals as jails are to humans except that humans are put in jail for some crime while animals are put in zoos for no fault of theirs.
Whoever first thought of the idea of setting up a zoo was certainly not a good human being. Keeping helpless animals in captivity for pleasure is a low of mankind.
Zoos all over the world should be closed down and the captive animals released into their natural habitat. Pakistan can take the initiative and set an example. It would also be in accordance with the teachings of kindness and compassion to animals as professed by Islam. The Govt has done well to transport a miserable elephant suffering in Islamabad zoo to it’s natural habitat in Cambodia. God will definitely reward the person(s) who took mercy on the animal.
