Oh no, the anti-zoo people will jump all over this... :(

Hope the keeper is ok though...

Oh no, that's awful! :( Thank goodness the orang only got into a staff area - that's bad enough though. I really hope this doesn't get too much publicity, I love Blackpool Zoo and I think they get far more than their share of negative attention. If people would give it a chance, they'd find a zoo just as good as some of the big boys!
 
Is it strange behaviour for a female orang to exhibit that kind of aggression to her keeper? Or is it the norm?

Most of the bad PR is to do with Blackpool's protocols regarding hands-on training of elephants.
