The British government have decided that zoos and animal sanctuaries will remain closed indefinitely.  They are struggling to cope with the running costs because paying customers are not allowed in.  Animals still need food and medical care and they are now desperate for help.  

If zoos and sanctuaries end up closing, decisions will need to made which animals stay alive and which should die.  In the mean time, people are able to shop at IKEA and sun themselves on the beach and local parks.  Zoos are mostly outside attractions and are able to put social distancing measures in place.

Zoos offer more than entertainment.  They are centres of education, run breeding programs for endangered species and may even “hold the key to preventing future pandemics like COVID-19”. 

Public fundraising to keep zoos open only for a short period of time.  We need to reopen zoos and save the lives of these animals!
