This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for the issue that you raise. Local councils are responsible for issuing and revoking licences for zoo operators.
You may be interested to know that Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council has refused to grant the owner of South Lakes Safari Zoo a new licence - you can find out more here: http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/news/south-lakes-safari-zoo-press-release/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
