Panda attack at the zoo

The incident, which occurred Sunday morning as keepers were trying to persuade the female panda to return to her sleeping area, is listed as an "attack" by Cal/OSHA in which the keeper was clawed and bitten and "severely" injured. The keeper, whose name has not been released, was taken immediately to a hospital for treatment.
Cal/OSHA lacks the authority to tell the zoo how to treat its animals. That authority rests with various state and federal agencies involved with wildlife.
Last year the San Diego Zoo was fined $2,700 for four safety violations involving an incident in which a keeper fell and fractured her tibia when a zebra became frightened and tried to run away. The keeper was restraining the zebra on a nylon leash.
