Japan: Chimpanzees starve as zookeeper steals and sells their food

A zookeeper at Japan’s Tennoji Zoo was caught stealing food meant for chimpanzees, leading to shortages and a police investigation. The 47-year-old suspect was caught on October 1 amid a decline in primate food supplies. The zoo apologized for the breach of trust and vowed stricter measures to prevent future incidents as public sympathy grew for the animals.
