Zoo

Last updated on 01 Jun 2023

Throughout history, both Sinhalese rulers and British colonizers have engaged in the practice of capturing and owning wild animals as pets in Sri Lanka. However, this has led to the establishment of zoos where a variety of native and exotic animals are kept in captivity, including mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish, all of which are subjected to a life of suffering and cruelty.
