Re open zoos and wildlife parks
Re open them after the Covid19 lockdown. They are important in conversing animals.
The parks can open safely and would provide a safe and welcome resource for families to enjoy after so much time in lockdown.
The parks and zoos conserve animals without revenue they will fail and the animals may need to be put down this is awful
We need to preserve nature and during lockdown people are even more aware of how precious wild life is. We as human needs to help animals who have not created this situation.
