A Swedish zoo said Thursday it had to shoot dead three chimpanzees after they escaped from their enclosure, with the situation still not under control.

A fourth primate was injured by gunshot, according to the company that runs the Furuvik Zoo around 200 kilometres (125 miles) north of Stockholm.

"A chimpanzee is considered a high-risk animal. If this kind of animal gets out into the zoo, it can pose a threat to people's lives", Annika Troselius, a spokeswoman for Parks and Resorts, told AFP.

Five of the zoo's seven chimps managed to escape from their enclosure on Wednesday shortly after noon (1100 GMT), and were roaming freely around the zoo.

It is not yet known how they escaped.

You blame their behavior on the zoo. But monkeys will attack humans in the wild.

In Africa, when the corn was ripe, the local baboons would attack anyone guarding the crop, and could kill women and young boys.

Usually one of our caretakers would go out with a rifle and shoot a couple and leave the carcasses as a warning, which worked.

Most of the zoological operations around the US have stooped breeding Chimps because of their propensity for violence when they get older.

I used to be a zookeeper. We got along well with the chimps, but we considered them the most dangerous animals we had.

Enough with the Amish.

That asinine garbage has been going on for what, ten years already?

Life is tough for snowflakes.

And pusses who can’t call a spade a spade.
Were you slighted by the Amish in the past?
A coward degrades a populace that is not here to defend itself.

Go hump someone else’s leg, I do not GAS about your sensitivities.
