The government has made a law that no one can catch and keep snakes. What do you think about this law? Give reasons for your answer and write in your own words

I think this law is in the interest of animals. I have seen many animals being used for entertainment and as means for earning livelihood, such as in circus, with snake charmers, etc. Of course they take care of these animals because they earn their livelihood from them, but I think the animals would be happy only if they are allowed to live freely in their natural habitat. Nobody likes slavery.

Further, if any animals does any mistake during the training or the show, the trainer torture it, which is really pathetic. Apart from these, many hunters and poachers kill animals for their skins, tusks, horns etc. After making the law, such activities are checked so I think it is a good move.
