Parks and Resorts CEO Christer Fogelmarck: "It is a failure that the chimpanzees were able to escape from their enclosures" Furuviksparken has also received criticism from the Swedish Work Environment Authority and the zoo organization Eaza. The County Administrative Board has previously also ruled that ways to kill the chimpanzees with firearms remotely were illegal.

In addition to shortcomings in the locking routines, the park is criticized for not annually following up and reviewing its security routines, which the auditing firm EY now recommends.
