                        We must protect animals from COVID-19!

                        Everest, Makalu, and Ranney were three playful snow 
leopards who had been held at the Lincoln Children's Zoo in Nebraska for 
years. Visitors loved watching them stalk and leap around — making these 
captive big cats a huge draw for the zoo. That is, until they all contracted 
COVID-19 in October 2021. One month later, all three were dead. With yet 
another spike in COVID in the U.S. occurring due to seasonal travels, even 
more animals — including endangered species at zoos — are at risk of dying 
unless they are medically protected fast.



                        Scientists know that animals can become infected 
with and succumb to COVID-19. And luckily, they've developed a specific 
vaccine to help animals. But that vaccine won't help any creature if they 
don't get inoculated with it ASAP. That's why we're urging the Association 
of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an organization that accredits zoos all around 
the world, to require vaccinations for eligible zoo animals now. These 
animals didn't choose to be around humans, much less around humans carrying 
a highly-contagious and deadly illness. So the very least we can do is 
protect them from the harm we cause! Sign the petition to demand that the 
AZA require zoos to vaccinate their eligible animals in order to save them 
from COVID-19!




                 Thank you,

                        Miranda

                        P.S. If you want to keep leopards, gorillas, and 
other animals safe, help us urge the AZA to mandate that all zoos vaccinate 
their eligible animals against COVID-19. Sign the petition now.
