Open Zoos before anymore stores. Animals need fed

Petition Details

Open Zoos. So the animals can be fed. Zoos rely on customers so they can buy food for the animals. Save the animals in Zoos. For example Chester Zoo

Additional Information

The government will not let zoos reopen indefinitely. They are all running out of money because paying customers aren't allowed in. The animals still need food. So shockingly sad! I heard today that they are possibly having to choose which animals should live and which should die. Chester zoo thought the government would let them reopen as they have put social distancing measures in place. Places like Ikea and the retail shops opening should never come before poor innocent animals needing food. We can live without new furniture for a while but these animals need to be fed.
