The Dutch Food Safety Authority said Friday carried out an additional check after a film crew had made illegal recordings on the grounds. The team was shocked by the spider monkey, who resides in Wassenaar early as 1959. When the zoo in 1985, had to close its doors, the owners were given an exemption to allow two monkeys live on the property.
One of the two animals is recently deceased. Monkey Foundation, which oversees the affairs of the former zoo was not the death aware and worried about the retarded monkey. Spider monkeys are highly social animals that usually thrive best in groups.
But the NVWA noted Friday that there is no reason for panic. “This inspection revealed that the animal is well cared for by the owners and by a zookeeper who comes every day,” said a spokesman. “The housing is in order, we see no reason to worry..”

the Monkey Foundation offered earlier to find a new home for the remaining spider monkey. “All this can be problematic,” said a spokeswoman. “There are not many zoos in Europe who love spider monkeys, and transport of the animal is problematic because of the age.”
Spider monkeys are over sixty years old. The family Louwman, the owner of the property, was Friday did not say whether a declaration is made by the camera crew earlier this week broke into the former zoo
