Zoos have become a common feature in all major cities and townships in India. They serve as a means of recreation, revenue generation, and scientific studies. Moreover, with the recent decision of the Supreme Court in on Jallikattu, animal rights have again taken the centre-stage in legal discourse. This note argues for a systematic, step-by-step abolishment of all zoos in India. This is justified by relying on the jurisprudential understanding of animal rights and nature, which is based on placing humans as a part of nature instead of superior or separate from it. The note delves into the legal framework of zoos in India and thereafter explores the jurisprudential flaws that the said framework embodies. Having analysed them, it proceeds to robustly argue for the dismantling of zoos in India in a phased manner.
