Chimpanzees escape from Oasis Park in Canary Island and attack staff members

#oasispark #Fuerteventura #chimpanzees It turned out to be a chaotic situation when three chimpanzees broke out from their cage in Oasis Park – a zoo in Canary Islands. British holidaymakers were caught by surprise and the primates attacked the staff members. When tranquilizers failed to contain them, they were shot – two died while the third is seriously injured.
Tis has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 28 June 2015.

The three animals were called King, Cheeta and Felipa – out of them, King and Felipa, are dead and Cheeta is undergoing emergency treatment from the vets. They had been at the park for over 20 years. It seems King and Cheeta had been rescued in 1988 from a street photographer and Felipa had been saved from animal traffickers by the Service for the Protection of Nature.
The Fuerteventura Oasis Park had recently received a TripAdvisor certificate of excellence and its owners have termed the incident as ‘the saddest day in the history of the park since it opened its doors in 1985’.
