Chimpanzee Adan, who had fled days ago from Zoo-Safari Sa Coma, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, was found dead, possibly drowned, in the woods near the Safari.
GAP Project asked the authorities a real investigation about his death, which is considered strange, and an autopsy, to settle the real cause of his death.
A request for closing the Zoo and for criminal liability against its owners is being made, aiming to prevent that a case like this will never happen again.
Adan and Eva – symbolic names of the emergence of human race – are the latest chimpanzees martyrs of this absurd struggle for respect for basic rights of our fellow primates, in a human society that cares little for the lives and rights of millions of innocent beings.
