House zoo animals need equipped with proper sprinkler systems for their safety.

House zoo animals need equipped with proper sprinkler systems for their safety.

The Issue

I recently went to Nocalula Falls, it was my girlfriend's and daughters first time there. We went on a Saturday morning until evening. We experienced the whole park including the petting zoo. We walked through the part of the zoo that had enclosed stalls for the animals that was inside a barn or building. We took pictures and made memories to never forget. The next morning Sunday morning we was devastated  to hear that the 75 animals inside the barn died in a fire that morning at 5 a.m. . The barn had no  proper sprinklers installed and was not ready if a fire broke out. I would like to make this known that way for the future, no aninals who are housed in a zoo for people to view, do not have to suffer and die if a fire occurs. I would like for it to be mandatory  that if any animals are in enclosed areas in a zoo or enclosed by personal entities, there has to be  sprinkler system installed for safety.  I cant stress enough how this long the zoo at Nocalula  had slipped  through the crack of PETA and many other animal rights activists. I demand to be hear and demand a change.
