I have received a communication from the Jane Goodall Institute:

"We fully share the astonishment, helplessness and sadness at an incident like this, where chimpanzees pay with their lives for mistakes and lack of human foresight, with protocols that include "preventive" killing even though no person has been attacked. We are currently analyzing measures to be taken through various channels... For now, we encourage you to express your opinion to EAZA, at info@eaza.net"

EU action on Swedish Zoo chimpanzee mistreatment: if you are living in the EU please contact this organisation and make your concerns known:

https://www.eurogroupforanimals.org/contact

Reference the EAZA zoo association (mentioned in my earlier posts) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and please demand that licence should be removed from the Furuvik zoo.

I explored various channels for action today. If you think of others, please suggest them.

"Debe estar al tanto de la noticia que se desarrolla en Suecia con respecto a los chimpancés que han recibido disparos y la continua incapacidad del parque zoológico para controlar la situación (¡incluido un animal herido que aún está desatendido!)"

"Ahora descubro que este parque es miembro de EAZA. Necesita que le revoquen su licencia. ¿Que estais haciendo sobre este tema?"

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN):

"You must be aware of the news story developing in Sweden... including one injured animal still unattended!

"The Furuvik zoo near Gävle needs to have its licence revoked. This zoo is a member of EAZA, which is in turn associated with your organisation, IUCN.

"I am passing the details of your organization to the press, as they will be interested to know how this degree of failure can be justified."
