Feuer im Zoo Krefeld: "Ich habe so eine Wut"

Die Fassungslosigkeit nach dem Brand in der Silvesternacht im Affenhaus in Krefeld sind groß. Menschen gedenken den qualvoll gestorbenen Tieren und äußern neben Anteilname auch Wut. Nach öffentlichen Aufrufen haben sich mögliche Verdächtige der Polizei gestellt, die weiter ermittelt. Verbotene Himmelslaternen, die in der Silvesternacht benutzt worden sein können, sind möglicherweise die Brandursache. A fire at a zoo in western Germany in the first minutes of 2020 killed more than 30 animals, including apes, monkeys, bats and birds, authorities said. Police said the fire may have been caused by sky lanterns launched to celebrate the new year. Several witnesses reported that they had seen the cylindrical paper lanterns with little fires inside flying in the night sky shortly after midnight Wednesday near the Krefeld zoo, Gerd Hoppmann, the city's head of criminal police told reporters. “People reported seeing those sky lanterns flying at low altitude near the zoo and then it started burning,” Hoppmann said. Police and firefighters received the first emergency calls at 12:38 a.m. The zoo near the Dutch border said that the entire ape house burned down and more than 30 animals, including five orangutans, two gorillas, a chimpanzee and several monkeys, as well as fruit bats and birds, were killed. Only two chimpanzees could be rescued from the flames by firefighters. They suffered burns but are in stable condition, zoo director Wolfgang Dressen said. “It's close to a miracle that Bally, a 40-year-old female chimpanzee, and Limbo, a younger male, survived this inferno,” Dressen said, adding that many animal handlers were in shock at the devastation. The zoo director also said than many of the dead animals were close to extinction in the wild.
