The park's own report and conversations with the park's employees are the basis for the decision.

- We cannot see any deficiencies connected to the incident that the employer has not remedied or planned to remediate, so we will not make any forward-looking demands on Furuvik, says Lena Sundstedt, inspector at the Work Environment Agency, to the radio.

The police investigate crimes

It was on December 14 that the police were alerted that five chimpanzees had escaped from their enclosures in the monkey house at Furuviksparken just outside Gävle.

Four of them were shot dead.

An open door allowed the five chimpanzees to escape, the zoo's own account of the incident released last week showed.

In addition to the County Administrative Board's and Work Environment Agency's review, the police have also drawn up a report of a violation of the Animal Protection Act and a report of a work environment violation.

Furuviksparken has commissioned EY (Ernst & Young) to carry out its own investigation.

One of the five chimpanzees survived his gunshot wounds.

There are two more chimpanzees in the zoo, and what will happen to these three monkeys is not yet known.
