Why are there no monkeys in the Berlin Zoo?
I somehow didn't find any

A roebuck was found dead near us and reported to the local hunter, but so far there's been no information about which animal is responsible. Furthermore, two dead deer were found not far from each other, and this halved roebuck is one of them. What was responsible? A fox, a large dog, or even a…
Hey you, I'd really like to know what just crawled across my table. Its body was about the size of a tick, maybe a little bigger. And on the front were these tiny arms with crab claws. ^^ I'm curious… thanks in advance 🙂
It's always like, "Oh, a snail." But it's never, "Do you see that snail over there?" How can that be?
We found him half frozen in front of our front door and don't know what it is or what we should do. He doesn't want to go to the water and water just beads off him.
I believe that animals can't be evil because they have no concept that other living beings also feel pain. I believe that evil means knowingly causing someone pain/suffering. However, someone who isn't evil can't be good either. Another user says that animals can be evil. What do you say?
Of course there are monkeys in the Berlin Zoo. Very famous is Fatou (https://www.zoo-berlin.de/de/current/all-news/artikel/fatou-wird-65-years) for example, but from large to small there are many monkeys – here is a sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZsZqxPDDX0&t=3s .

Is there a reason…
No, the lies of PETA about human apes are no reason, because they have long been refuted – current example: https://zoos.media/media/medien-echo/peta-laecherliche-anzeige-wegen-menschenaffung/ .
I was more concerned with the arguments of mental stress for the animals. And your text didn’t say anything about it…
And quite honestly: “Zoos and Co help to save animals from extinction”…you could rather help animals in nature…because as far as I know most animals bred in zoos cannot be emigrated and then it is questionable how meaningful it is to keep an animal genome alive.
Yes I agree to waste meaningless money does not make sense and you should help more affected areas/animals/people. However, I find it equally important to get an awareness, for example through media attention to the topics.
There are no psychological strains of animals in reputable Zoological institutions. To help animals only in nature is not enough and is not in the sense of the One Plan Approach of the World Conservation Union: https://zoos.media/medien-echo/ist-es-not-better-die-tiere-nur-in-ihr-natuerliche-lebenraum-zu-schuetzen/ It is very useful to keep many species alive because you cannot play Jenga with ecosystems without something happening.
There is a whole ape house with 4 species of human ape and various other primates.
