Rejected petition Help save Chester zoo from collapse allow them to re-open the doors to visitors.

We would like the government to look providing help for Chester Zoo and all other UK Zoo's that may need to be rescued from collapse due to COVID-19 by opening the doors under strict rules they will at least have Half a chance of survival and saving great national institutes.

More details

We want the Government to do this as it would be a great loss to the country as well as it being a place of fun it is a place of education too as children can learn all there is to know about the animals and how they live today and in the past they have a lot to teach so it would be a terrible loss if we no longer had access to them.
