Review the decision to order zoos to remain closed indefinitely.
Not being able to open, despite being huge outdoor sites with all the necessary safety measures in place, is having a devastating impact on our much-loved zoos.
Those of us who love and support zoos are having to sit back and watch as people are piling onto beaches and into public parks, where there is no way of controlling numbers, no way of guaranteeing people are socially distanced and no way of ensuring safety. Zoos can do all of this.
We look on as, from this week, private gardens open up, while zoos and their acres of gardens and pathways remain closed, and under enormous financial pressure.
