Cancel Sheep Racing at Hoo Zoo

From July to September, Hoo Zoo will be holding regular sheep racing events. In March 2017, over 52,000 people signed our petition calling for their sheep races to be cancelled. This petition was successful and their sheep races were cancelled. But they are racing sheep again, despite the overwhelming number of people opposed to this.
These races are often claimed to be "for the children" and to teach them about sheep. However this teaches children nothing about the natural behaviour of sheep.
These races show children that animals are here for our entertainment, which we certainly do not believe that they are.
Sheep should not be "raced" or made to "perform" in any way for the loud gratification of humans, to whose noise they are very sensitive.
