Open zoos and farms with social distancing before pubs

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should open zoos and farms before pubs as people can drink at home in addition zoos and farms are going bankrupt it is also not fair And is cruel that the animals are not getting the interaction they usually get on a daily basis form the general public.

If the government decides to still open pubs first they should at least help zoos and farms so they do not go bancrupt as they are both loved by the general also if pubs are to open first people may drink to the point they forget about the rules
