Can I Take My Child To The Zoo
I mean, it isn’t kind to have them in cages. There is also an abysmal lack of any good educational places to take children in Karachi. Can families enjoy the zoo? It’s not like we have access to safaris here.

This is your decision.

Is it morally wrong to?

If you find it morally wrong, do as your conscience directs.

After thinking: I don’t think it is inherently wrong to go and see animals, it can be educational and the animals don’t have to be miserable. Some zoos will be better than others at taking care of the animals. Some animals will do better in enclosures than others (ex snakes vs elephants). I do think investing in one/ buying one will warrant responsibility for the health and welfare of animals. Rehabilitative zoos catering to sick animals and safaris would be a much better alternative, but they don’t exist here. I feel like for me to bar my family from going somewhere socially accepted to be innocent and family friendly, there needs to be a much clearer ethical boundary being crossed. I will however educate my kids about how this can be cruel to animals needing large habitats, but that shouldn’t mean they don’t get to experience Allah’s creations while being respectful and kind.
