A violent viral video has surfaced showing a man being assaulted by a vicious orangutan after entering the animal’s enclosure inappropriately to ‘produce content.’
In a viral video, an orangutan in an Indonesian zoo almost breaks a visitor’s leg by grabbing him from his cage. The incident occurred at the Kasang Kulim Zoo in Indonesia, and it has ignited a controversy about visitors’ behavior toward the zoo’s animals.
Who Is Hasanal Arifin?
Hasanal Arifin, a 19-year-old zoo visitor, was attacked for breaking the zoo’s safety standards. The event took place on June 6th. According to local media, Hasan broke the zoo’s safety guidelines by climbing over a barrier that separates animals and people.
In addition, the zoo management told local reporters that the visitor may have kicked the orangutan in order to shoot the video.
Orangutan Attacks Man After He Jumps Into The Cage
On June 6, Hasanal Arifin climbed through the fence at the Kasang Kulim Zoo in Riau province and videotaped himself teasing the ape.
When the lad reached out his arms towards the cage, the enraged orangutan looked to be becoming anxious. Hasanal’s video shows the orangutan grabbing his t-shirt, with the horrified visitor yelling for aid and later claiming he feared he was going to die.
Hasanal was seized by the leg by the angry orangutan, who tried to drag him into the cage. When a bystander attempted to interfere, the primate brushed them away. Staff was alerted to the incident and Hasanal was kicked out of the attraction. Hasanal was then ordered by outraged zoo officers to make a public apology.
Moreover, Mohammad Ides, the zoo’s manager, cautioned visitors to adhere to the guidelines. He stated that a new warning sign would be affixed to a fence.
