Save Caesar - Wakefield's Gorilla!

Please reverse the decision forcing me to remove Caesar the gorilla or pay a £20,000 fine. You say he doesn't fit in with the area, but people come from miles to see him!

Why is this important?

Wakefield Council have told me to remove Ceasar - the 4ft gorilla statue outside my home - as he doesn't fit in with the area. People come from miles to see him and children love him, but I could be fined up to £20,000 in court if I keep him there! Please help me save Caesar the gorilla.

We all want to make our mark on our own home. Caesar might be a quirky choice, but he brings joy to the local community. A huge petition could be enough to make the council reconsider - but we only have until 9th June before the council forces Caesar’s removal.

Saving Caesar means standing up for the quirky, fun, and whimsical little things that bring happiness to everyday life.

Let’s not let the council killjoys win: Please sign my petition today, and share with everyone!
