After the tragedy at the Krefeld Zoo in which the monkey house burned down, unknown people are allegedly collecting donations for the Krefeld Zoo.

The police now published a warning on their Facebook page. After the inferno, there are apparently fake fundraisers in Krefeld who want to profit from the tragedy. The police posted a warning on their Facebook page on January 7, 2020.

Attention: Current notice False fundraisers for the Krefeld Zoo in # KempenerFeld / Baakeshof

A resident of Von-Steuben-Straße has just informed us that two people rang her doorbell and said they were collecting donations for the Krefeld Zoo. One person was wearing a capi , a dark blue vest and a pink shirt.
ATTENTION These people are NOT collecting for the Krefeld Zoo! If you would like to donate, please go directly to Krefeld Zoo.

How are those monkeys who survived actually doing?

The zoo writes on its website:

Surviving chimpanzees are in good health! At the request of the animal keepers, there are no plans to bury the animals

The West African chimpanzees Bally (46) and Limbo (27) miraculously survived the fire in the monkey house on New Year's Eve surprisingly well.

The two are doing well six days after the fire. They have burns on their hands, feet and face, but their coat is intact. Both eat and drink well. They are currently still together in the hospital rooms, but in the next few days they will move into the third, hidden section of the Gorilla Garden interior. We feel that the care they receive from their trusted carers also gives them psychological support. Therefore there are no concrete moving plans.

We would like to tell you the following about emerging rumors:

The zoo employees, who have maintained close contact with the animals for many years, have spoken out against an urn burial site on the zoo grounds as part of their grieving process. The zoo management will respect this wish. In the more distant future we will set up a memorial site at the zoo.

Here are the results of the investigation into the fire in the Krefeld Zoo!

The Krefeld law enforcement authorities have largely clarified the devastating fire in the Krefeld Zoo. The fire was started by a sky lantern. Three women had let five of them go up on New Year's Eve and reported to the Krefeld police after the press conference yesterday (January 1, 2020).

The criminal police have so far been able to seize four of these sky lanterns near the monkey house. The missing fifth lantern is almost certainly the lantern that started the fire.

The women had previously ordered the lanterns online. In their interviews yesterday they stated that they had found no evidence of a ban. They didn't expect the dire consequences. They understandably stated that they were incredibly sorry about what had happened.

The women are a mother and her two adult daughters aged 30 to 60. The Krefeld women are now being investigated for negligent arson. (4)
