VOICED : Decenas de monos mueren en incendio en zoo de Alemania

A fire at Krefeld Zoo in Germany on New Year's Eve resulted in the death of at least 30 monkeys, including orangutans, titíes, and chimpanzees. Only two chimpanzees survived. The fire was contained by firefighters, preventing further damage, but the financial loss is estimated in millions of euros. Initial evidence suggests that illegal Chinese sky lanterns may have caused the fire, though confirmation is pending. Despite a ban since 2009, three lanterns were found in the debris. The German Animal Protection Association has called for a ban on fireworks near zoos and similar facilities.
