We will definitely discuss the matter when she returns.”The incident expressed displeasure on social media.A user commented on X: “This is animal misuse. It should not be observed in any way.”Another wrote: “Have any action taken so far, or are they waiting for Orangutan to file an official complaint against Anastasia Luchkina?”PETA UK vice -president Mm Bakechi quoted NY Post as saying: “Anastasia Luchina would have found some much knock on the head, if she thinks that it is a larger to give an orange … Violation of the welfare of this intelligent, gentle monkey.”
