Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ape's escape saddens animal rights group Friday, 4 April 2008 15:16 The Alliance for Animal Rights (AFAR) has said it is saddened to hear an orangutan tried to escape from its enclosure at Dublin Zoo earlier this week. Maggie the ape went on the run for an hour on Wednesday after being kept in captivity for 24 years. Zookeepers shot her with a tranquiliser before delivering her safely back to the compound.
