Closed petition Make the culling of healthy animals in captivity illegal

Closed on

Please introduce stricter laws in which no healthy animal can be killed in Zoos, sanctuaries or other captive settings for any reasons such as space; money; inbreeding; genetic representation etc.

Too many healthy animals are being ‘culled’ for not good enough reasons. The reasons given for wild culls are in no way applicable to captive animals. For example if there are too many of a certain animal, why have them in captivity to begin with? Only ill animals should be put to sleep when there is absolutely nothing left to be done and it is in their best interest. Thank you.
