Blackpool Zoo visitor 'abused by guests' in row over disabled seating

A visitor to Blackpool Zoo has warned guests with 'invisible disabilities' to 'tattoo it on your head' after they were allegedley forced to justify their disability to 'abusive' zoo-goers in a row over a Sealion show seat.

The exhausted tourist was left feeling 'absolutely wiped' after they apparently battled through several queues on the day, and took a seat in a designated disabled area in the arena. They were allegedley confronted by a staff member several times who asked them to move before the performance started.

The guest refused to move - sparking a row with eavesdropping spectators who started "abusing" the "selfish" zoo-goer, LancsLive reports.
