Extend the government funding to support large zoos

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Extend the current government zoo fund to cover large zoos, or introduce new funding to provide aid for these establishments.

To protect the welfare of the animals in these zoos and those who have dedicated their careers to their conservation. These animals do not deserve to be culled at the expense of human intrusion. Animals in zoos have provided both education and entertainment for years - it should not be considered acceptable to dispose of them as and when convenient. Science has proved that many of these species are sentient beings; it would be unjust and inhumane to dismiss exploring alternatives to euthanasia.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced £100 million rescue package for England’s zoos and aquariums: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/100-million-rescue-package-for-englands-zoos-and-aquariums
