Introduce ban on keeping wolves in captivity

Introduce ban on keeping wolves in captivity — 1,865 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We call on the Government to enact a legislative ban on keeping wolves in captivity including all zoos and wildlife parks.

Additional details

We believe the "Wildwood Five" tragedy proves the Zoo Licensing Act 1981 is failing social apex predators, and that wolves' natural instincts for dispersal and hierarchy are incompatible with the physical constraints of UK parks. We feel we need to phase out the public exhibition of wolves, and instead prioritise specialist, non-public sanctuaries. The Government should act to end "management" culling and modernise laws that we feel are no longer fit for purpose.
