Zoos are very safe places to go as they are outside and are able to limit nunbers to ensure social distancing is maintained. There are few places that can be safer to visit and that are able to manage visitor numbers. It makes no sense to stop these places from opening.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":12,"created_at":"2020-06-04T08:18:25.990Z","updated_at":"2020-06-09T08:39:12.232Z","rejected_at":"2020-06-09T08:39:12.236Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2020-06-04T08:55:44.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign some of these petitions:\r\n\r\nAllow Zoos and Wildlife attractions to reopen with social distancing in place: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/323881\r\n\r\nProvide financial help to zoos, aquariums, & rescue centres during the pandemic: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/308733\r\n\r\nYou can find out more about coronavirus and how you can protect yourself and others here:\r\n\r\nwww.gov.uk/coronavirus\r\nhttps://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/\r\n\r\nThe Government has also created an online service to help you find out what you can do if you’re struggling because of coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/find-coronavirus-support\r\n\r\nYou can read NHS tips to help if you are worried about coronavirus here: https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/coronavirus-covid-19-anxiety-tips\r\n\r\nYou can read impartial analysis of the Government response to coronavirus and policy developments here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/coronavirus/\r\n\r\nYou may also be interested to know that because of the large number of petitions that have been started in relation to coronavirus, the Petitions Committee has been questioning the Government about its response to the coronavirus outbreak.\r\n \r\nFind out more: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/192/the-governments-response-to-coronavirus/"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
