All zoos, wildlife parks and attractions to have electric fences

All zoos, wildlife parks and attractions to have electric fences — 15 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

I am requesting that all zoos, wildlife parks and other attractions have electric fences installed in front of already placed enclosures for extra security measures to keep citizens and dangerous animals safe.

Additional details

I believe it’s far too easy for people to access these enclosures, especially for people that do not have the capacity to understand why they should not enter areas containing dangerous animals. Electric fences should be placed in front of their enclosures for extra security and safety, & no animal should be potentially killed whilst defending their territory, especially when they are bred or caught and kept in captivity for our enjoyment. We think doing what this petition asks will keep the public safe and also the animals.
