Day of Action Against Zoos 2000
Archive - August 2000

Bank Holiday 28th August 2000 is the UK Day of Action Against Zoos. We are asking everyone with a zoo in their area to arrange a protest/leafleting session at the zoo on August 28th.

Last year, protests were held outside 13 zoos and safari parks. Demonstrators dressed up in animal costumes and handed out leaflets to zoo visitors (see previous report).

CAPS is supplying free leaflets for zoo protests so please contact us as soon as possible if you intend to take part in the zoo day of action.

Animals in zoos need your help. Please get involved. Remember that zoos will close once people stop paying to see animals incarcerated

HOW YOU CAN HELP

	Become a supporter of CAPS.
	Order a copy of the CAPS video Sad Eyes & Empty Lives.
	Write to your MP calling for a moratorium on new zoos and greater legal protection for captive animals.
	If you see animals in poor conditions in zoos or safari parks, write a letter of protest to the local council responsible for the area and contact CAPS.
	Write to your local newspaper highlighting what is wrong with zoos; use information from this website.
