Werribee Zoo Petition

I don't know if anyone on this forum has ever been to Werribee Open Range Zoo here in Melbourne. There is a proposal to turn the zoo into an amusement park which goes completely against the zoo's current charter. If anyone cares to sign the petition you can follow the link here Friends of the Zoo.

Ooh, I wonder how this wasn't in my Sierra Club newsletter

Ah, you have to donate to sign petitions here? I'm afraid I don't have enough $$ in my paypal account
Nevermind, seems like donations are optional after signing the petition

Oh yeah, should have mentioned you can just ignore that request for cash. That's a stupid thing to attach to a petition like that. I know the site needs money but they make it look like it's part of the petition.

Good cause, Fazstp.
Signed the petition and added: "I totally agree with the concerns of Friends of the Zoos. And I am grateful to my good friend and member who brought this to awareness. Werribee needs to be allowed to continue its excellent work."

Specifically I like the idea of visitors rather than animals being contained.

Yep, all you have to do is close the window. Your signature has already been recorded.

Well the proposal was rejected, at least in it's current form. Thanks to any signatories.

Here are some of my recent happy snaps.
