text of the petition

Sign the petition if you want the zoo's keepers and managers to separate Punch-kun the macaque from the abusive macaques. We believe that this is not socialization and that this is passively watching the abuse, which endangers little Punch's life. He needs safety and love.


Punch-kun's situation is untenable. He is constantly being abused, he has no peace and his physical and mental health are at risk. Due to the poor animal husbandry conditions, this may even be animal cruelty, as the zoo is aware that larger macaques are abusing Punch and there has been a previous case where an abused macaque died.

Help us to strengthen citizen participation. We want to support your petition to get the attention it deserves while remaining an independent platform.
