Letters to THE EDITOR Letters to THE EDITOR Keeping animals in the zoos for the amusement is an act against the nature and appears barbaric. We humans have no right to keep them in the prison-like situation, as though they are criminals. Animals in captivity Keeping animals in the zoos for the amusement is an act against the nature and appears barbaric. We humans have no right to keep them in the prison-like situation, as though they are criminals. These animals are created by the law of nature and have the right to live freely. I, therefore, suggest closing down all the zoos and leasing them out to the organizations who are sincerely working for the interest of distressed animals or on medical grounds.
