P-05-978 Allow
Zoos and Wildlife attractions to reopen with social distancing in place
throughout Wales
This
petition was submitted by Susan Stuart having collected a total of 248
signatures.
Text of Petition:
It is essential that zoos
and wildlife attractions with their acres of land and wide open spaces are
given immediate permission to reopen. With social distancing in place these
facilities could be safer than other facilities, such as open air markets,
already given permission to reopen.
Additional Information:
Zoos play a vital role in
conservation, not only in Wales, but also around the world. Institutions spend
millions annually funding conservation that helps to preserve the habitats and
numbers of critically endangered animals.
This conservation has been
put under threat by the continued closure of zoos, with many facing closure due
to the lack of government support.
The cost of looking after
animals doesn’t just disappear when visitors aren’t around and it is essential
they be allowed to reopen immediately.
