What the petition asks
Our zoos, wildlife parks and aquariums etc are in danger of closing, and this puts the animals in their care in danger also. Some of the UKs and the worlds most endangered species reside in our zoos. They need support while their main income (visitors) is closed off. Our zoos are now endangered.
Zoos, wildlife parks and aquariums are now at the start of there best time of year for them. With the nicer weather zoos etc get more and more people through their gates. This is their biggest income stream, BUT due to lockdown they can not open, and they are missing out on VITAL funds
