Petition Action

Open all zoos from 8th March 2021

Petition Details

Zoos are large outside spaces where it is possible to socially distance, and where learning can continue for home educated children. They can safely open with limited numbers as they did before, and waiting until April will cause more financial hardship for them, unnecessarily.

Additional Information

By delaying re opening, they will be closed for Easter this year. In the case of ZSL, they have said they will suffer a further loss of £6m of income this year on top of the £20m lost in 2020 due to closures and restrictions. If children are returning to school, and outside recreation and sports facilities are opening in March, it makes no sense to delay opening of zoos, including ZSL London and Whipsnade Zoo.
