Petition Action

Reopen all zoo’s on June 15th with covid-19 social distancing rules.

Petition Details

Zoo’s need our help and are struggling to stay above water with everything that has been going on due to coronavirus. Innocent animals are starving and will have to be put down if zoo’s aren’t reopened ASAP. If none essential shops can be reopened then so can an outdoor spacious zoo.

Additional Information

Chester zoo has stated that 97% of their income comes from paying customers. 35,000 different species of animals are now in danger. OPEN UP ZOOS ASAP!!
