11.     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.
Ans.Animals are often kept in captivity. They are used for entertaining people. For example; snake-charmers use snake and madaris use monkeys to entertain people. Since, they earn livelihood from these animals, so they take good care of these animals. But no animal would like to live as a slave. Everyone likes to enjoy freedom.I think, the government law preventing catching and keeping snakes is a’good law.
