Authorities closed the zoo. The same zoo was also ordered to close last year due to inadequate security arrangements.
French the zoo was closed last weekend when a herd of wolves escaped their pen, according to AFP news agency.
The wolves escaped during the day with the Zoo des Trois Vallées open to visitors.
Workers at the park shot four wolves and the authorities got the remaining five appeased, a local authority said Fabien Chollet on Friday to AFP. No people were injured.
“There weren’t a lot of people in the park and the audience wasn’t in direct danger,” Chollet said.
However, the park will remain closed until the safety problem that led to the escape is fixed.
Sudet had just arrived at the zoo, says the owner Sauveur Ferrara To AFP. They destroyed the security system and got out of the enclosure but did not leave the park area. According to Ferrara, the shot wolves were forced to kill because of their behavior.
“Unfortunately, four wolves were killed by park workers due to abnormal and dangerous behavior,” he commented.
Ferrara downplayed the role of the zoo in the case, but this is not the first decision to close the park.
Authorities also ordered the closure of the Zoo des Trois Vallées in 2020 due to inadequate security arrangements. Ferrara was then allowed to have the injunction overturned in court.
