Re-open the Zoo's to the public after covid 19 to save the animals.
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 and Chester zoo is now in desperate need of help. So shockingly sad!
We are the humans that domesticated animals and decided to bring them into a Zoo we now have to protect them!
