Keep Zoos Open during the Lockdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow Zoo’s to continue to stay open during Lockdowns!
They have all the safety measures in place that are required.
They are outside spaces.
Without being able to stay open they risk having to destroy animals, many of whom are endangered!
They are educational!

The zoo’s spent huge amounts of money making themselves COVID safe.
They are outside.
They are educational so should be exempt from closure.
Many of the animals in zoos are endangered and if forced to close again run the risk of being destroyed!
