Closed Review current rules for zoos and their suitability for the future

Closed on

As a consequence of the Corona Virus pandemic we have had our personal liberty severely, but only temporarily, restricted. Few if any people can be finding this experience enjoyable.

Animals kept in zoos have their liberty removed completely, and in most cases permanently.

Now that we have a better understanding of how restrictions on our liberty feel, we should review the case for zoos. If they serve an essential purpose other than simply our entertainment, then we should establish legal minimum standards for the conditions in which animals can be kept.
