A zoo in Nuremberg, Germany, said on Tuesday it had euthanized 12 baboons despite protests, ending concerns that it did not have enough space for the animals.

The Tiergarten Nürnberg zoo announced in February 2024 that it did not have enough space and would kill the monkeys. The statement said that offers to house several animals had been considered, but that it was unlikely that any of them would be realized.

The plan has drawn criticism from animal rights groups, who have also protested at the zoo, which said on Monday it would have to prepare to kill the baboons. On Tuesday morning, it announced it would remain closed for unspecified "operational reasons."

On Tuesday afternoon, police said some activists had forced their way in, some even sitting on the ground before being taken away by authorities.

Shortly after, the zoo said it had killed 12 baboons, according to German media. No further details were given. Rights groups said they would file criminal charges.

The garden housed 43 Guinea baboons, which was not enough to house the 25 animals and their young, causing problems.

The zoo said it had previously taken steps to relocate 16 monkeys to zoos in Paris and China since 2011. But other zoos and one in Spain where they were previously sent had reached full capacity.

In European zoos, animals are euthanized for a variety of reasons. Some have even caused strong reactions. In 2014, the Copenhagen Zoo killed a two-year-old giraffe, dismembered it in front of a crowd that included children, and threw it to lions.
