Three chimpanzees were gunned down after attempting a daring escape from Sweden's Furuvik Zoo, while four others remain besieged by authorities inside a building.
The group of seven chimpanzees attempted a breakout from their enclosures on Wednesday, to which they were greeted by gunfire that killed three and injured another. Zoo authorities justified their decision to kill the animals rather than tranquilize them, saying that chimpanzees are such volatile animals that tranquilizing them wouldn't be enough, the zoo's information director told Aftonbladet.
