Re-open drive through safari parks!

Petition Details

To re-open safari parks, for a safari tour only, to bring in income for zoos so that they are able to feed each and every animal properly!

Additional Information

Because they are not open they have no income, and with no income they cannot feed all of the animals, with safari open they could still make an income to feed them all properly and make sure they are all looked after correctly! Rather than them having to choose between animals to feed and some may end up in a bad way or even dead, this problem needs to be sorted and as everyone will be inside of their vehicles so they will be social distancing. Shops should not come before feeding animals.
