Help "The Lion Man" Craig Busch return to Zion Wildlife Gardens
Hi all of you who have watched The Lion Man on TV! It is repeated regularly on Sky, but for those who havent seen it, it is about an amazing guy called, Craig Busch. All by himself through years of devotion he has established a park in New Zealand called Zion Wildlife Gardens. It is a sanctuary for big cats where Craig and his staff worked hands-on building bonds with these gorgeous animals and creating an existence that they otherwise would not have. To date the park houses more than 40 beautiful big cats, safe from hunters. His sanctuary is home to Zion, the magnificant lion who was famously chosen as the face for Aslan in the recent Narnia & Prince Caspian films. Craigs Mother Patricia came to the park in 2006 to financially assist him following a period of personal difficulty. However now she has overstepped her authority and in November 2008 she fired her own son from the business he has set up, and isolated him from his big cats and the marvellous work he has been doing. It is a terrible thing she has done to her son and just as bad, the big cats are really missing their Dad!! Craig The Lion Man himself has said: I believe my cats miss me as much as I miss them. I do get to see them but not very often and I am not able to go in with them. Some of them have been affected emotionally but the most impact has been on Gandor, Shikira, Zion and Shia. It is not their fault that all this is happening. I need to get back to them as soon as possible. Watch this amazing heart <b>...</b>

The Lion Man Theme High Quality
The Story So Far... From a young age Craig discovered that he had a unique ability to understand and handle cats. As he grew older he determined to dedicate his life to the preservation of big cats. In 2002 having mustered a collection of some 18 large cats, Craig set up Zion Wildlife Gardens, near Whangarei. www.zionwildlifegardens.co.nz There are currently 41 big cats at the park. In 2003 Phil Smith, director of Great Southern Television (GSTV) approached Craig about filming a TV series The Lionman. The series, funded by TVNZ, was filmed over 2003 and went to air in 2004. Two further series were made and The Lionman is now loved by millions of people around the world in over 100 countries. www.greatsoutherntv.com In 2005, following a period of personal difficulty, Craigs mother, Patricia, moved into the park to assist him. In 2006 Patricia offered to help Craig refinance the park. An agreement was entered into between Craig, Patricia, Zion Wildlife Gardens and Country Developments. www.scribd.com Craig was asked to resign as a director and sign over the voting rights for his shares to Patricia. A 12.5% share in Zion Wildlife Gardens and Country Developments was signed over to Patricia. The loan was secured against the park property in Kamo and was to be repaid from business proceeds with the ultimate objective of Craig being restored as director and having control of the park returned to him. Zion Wildlife Gardens is the park operating company and Country Developments <b>...</b>

In Loving Memory of The Lion Man's Barbary Lioness Shia RIP
On December 4th 2009 aged 10 years Barbary Lioness Shia passed away believed to be by natural causes. This was deverstating and heartbreaking news to alot of people. Shia was sister to Zion and were the first 2 cubs The Lionman Craig Busch brought to NZ to start his Big Cat Sanctuary. They were both hand rasied by Craig and he had such a special bond with the especially Zion, they saw him as there Dad. Shia was such a well behaved and placid Lioness she was used for public 1 on 1 interactions when Craig ran Zion Wildlife Gardens. She was kept with her brother Zion the name sake of the park and they had a special relationship, and even though Zion is the head of the park Shia would always put him in his place. This is yet another disaster since The Lion Man Craig Busch was unfairly dismissed from the park, Please see my other Video " Help TV's "The Lion Man" Craig Busch return to Zion - www.youtube.com " for all the information you need and how you can help. Shia you will be missed so much, you were such a beautiful Girl. Look after Dalu, Abu, Khan and Sampson up there. Sleep Well xx

Dimitri Price talks about the Mauling of Dalu
Video Source: tvnz.co.nz Zion Wildlife Gardens Incident Dalu Mncube was the "grandad" of the big cats. The South African, known as "Uncle Dalu" to many, had hand-reared many of the lions and tigers at Zion Wildlife Gardens from cubs. A humble man who downplayed his role in saving a fellow cat handler from an earlier tiger attack, 26-year-old Mr Mncube was himself yesterday fatally mauled by the park's largest tiger. Mr Mncube, the righthand-man to Zion's "Lion Man" Craig Busch, was killed by a male white tiger while cleaning an enclosure with another keeper at the sanctuary near Whangarei, made famous by a television show. Despite the best efforts of other staff members who rushed to his aid, the tiger would not let Mr Mncube go and he died at the scene from injuries to his head, torso and lower leg. As many as 11 people witnessed the attack, including eight tourists and two children who were last night receiving counselling along with distressed park workers. Police, the Department of Labour and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry have launched investigations. The coroner has also been advised. The tiger is believed to have been 260kg Abu, one of four white tigers at the park, who also attacked keeper Demetri Price in February. During that attack, Mr Mncube plunged his fingers into Abu's mouth, then used a fire extinguisher to force the animal to release Mr Price. "I never got scared," Mr Mncube told the Herald. "You stay nice and calm. If I got scared and panicked <b>...</b>

Lion Man - Craig Busch speaks out.
The Lion Man, Craig Busch, has questioned safety measures at the wildlife park where a game keeper was mauled to death by a tiger this week. Dalu Mncube was killed after being attacked by a 260kg white male tiger called Abu on Wednesday. Mr Busch, who is currently involved in a hearing before the Employment Relations Authority over his dismissal from the Zion Wildlife Gardens, gave a statement to media this afternoon. Mr Busch said Mr Mncube was the most experienced employee at the park to be dealing with the male tigers while he himself was not there. "I think there needs to be more experience," Mr Busch said. In a halting and emotional voice Mr Busch said he wanted to say goodbye to his friends Dalu and Abu and was sad to see them die the way they did. "I am deeply concerned about the future of the park, safety issues, the way it is being managed and the well-being of these animals," Mr Busch said. He said his protocol with the tigers was that no one was to go inside the enclosure without him. "Even at times I didn't feel like going in there, I'd have to lock them up to go and clean out," Mr Busch said. He said when he was at the park there were "no behavioural issues" with the tiger. "My issues are, number one - is safety at this park, also the management and the rising debt that has tripled in the last few years and also, the well-being of these animals, which is a big one." Asked if the attack would have happened if he was at the park, Mr Busch said: "I don't know <b>...</b>
