Proposal for closing the Zoo in Palma de Mallorca, Spain
posted in 06 May 2015

GAP Project and other animal rights organizations have denounced the Zoo-Safari Sa Coma, which allowed the escape of two imprisoned chimpanzees  and the death of one of them.

The hunt for the male Adan continues in the woods surrounding the Safari.

An order requiring the Zoo closing is being made to the Spanish environmental authorities, which have done nothing to control establishments like this Safari, where animals live precariously.

The Zoo explained that they had to kill Eve, since she threatened the team that tried to capture her and they could not hold her chemically, which shows a total lack of preparation with the handling of large primates.
