At least you’re consistently showing a lack of empathy for animals. The ones that cared for the killer whales but not the thousands of lions, tigers, elephants and giraffes baffle Tf out of me.

They should keep up the efforts they've made with the endangered animals but they should shut down other exhibits imo

[Oliver_W]

Whether or not zoos should be a thing, the animals who live in them now need them to continue. Domesticated animals can't survive in the wild, and they can't all be given out as pets, obviously.

There's certainly an argument to be made that they don't take on new animals and run until their cohorts die out, but closing them down will just result in (presumably) healthy and content animals being put down.

Hope they can implement social distancing measures and get them back open. Chester Zoo especially is an amazing zoo for conservation etc. When people say they want all the zoos closed they’re thinking of ones in other countries where next to no animal welfare guidelines are carried out. To say an amazing zoo like Chester Zoo should close is ridiculous!

I-

lack of empathy for animals?


lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes all have much better lives in zoo's than in the wild for sure, i'm sooo against poachers, game hunters they disgust me how they kill those animals in the wild

which is also why i show my support for Safari Park, whom have saved many animals from the dangers of the wild basically

other zoo's i also like, such as in german city Hamburg they got a RTV show about that one on german tv what i watch, also Burgers Zoo which is broadcast on dutch tv here, also quite nice to see how much love from employees there goes to animals (and also how long some of employees work there, one is in his 60's and works at that Hamburg Zoo for like 40 years)

Hancock just said Live
Zoo's need to open soon,
In a Covid Secure Way.

The way things are going in the wild / jungles they should be opening state owned and financed Zoos if only for all the endangered species .

Marchioness of Bath Emma of Longleat, whom herself does managing work at Safari Park, also had mentioned this

We want as many of our loyal supporters to ask a question of the Government at one of the televised daily briefings. We are asking as many of you as possible to submit a similar question to this:
When uncontrolled outdoor areas and non-essential retail can open, why won’t the Government allow zoos and safari parks to. Instead the Government have singled them out to remain closed indefinitely. I find it hard to think of a better place to socially distance than in a drive through safari such as Longleat.

Surely they could at least partially open? Make it online bookings only, with a limit on ticket sales to stop it being crowded.

If the government won't allow them to open they need to start funding them IMO. The animals need to be cared for whether the place is open or not, and if they're not funding themselves through ticket sales, it's a countdown to being unable to feed the animals.

[Oliver_W]

They could open up a crowdfunding thing? I'd certainly donate.

I’ve never felt crowded in a zoo, so they could deffo safely open

Yeah even on a really busy day you can socially distance.

If they have online bookings only they can limit how many people are attending on a given day.

We used to go every Christmas Eve, so probably one of the busiest times you can go and there was always enough room, I don’t get why they can’t open but theme parks can...

Alton Towers have been allowed to open their ‘gardens’ and I believe Drayton Manor and Chessington have too?
