What is the latest news on lion man Craig Busch?
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. http:/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 2003/2004 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. http:/www.greatsoutherntv.com/shows/lionmanIn 2005, following a period of personal difficulty, Craig's 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. http:/www.scribd.com/doc16340134/2006-ContractCraig 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 own the land on which the park is located. Craig remains a major shareholder in both companies. http:/www.facebook.com/home.php?#/photo.php?pid=1271828&id=43253796601In 2007 a further agreement was signed but the relationship between Craig and his mother deteriorated. We allege that park staff were instructed not to work with Craig, speak to him or have anything to do with him.http:/www.facebook.com/note.php?saved&&suggest¬e_id=137097514918&id=43253796601#/video/video.php?v=129108107048In June 2008, Craig felt that the welfare of the animals was being compromised by the ongoing situation and he made a report to MAF.On November 3rd 2008 Craig was dismissed from Zion Wildlife Gardens and he began a grievance claim for unfair dismissal. http:/www.stuff.co.nz/national/2444571/Lion-man-sacked-without-warningSince he was no longer a ZWG employee Craig's Operator licence was revoked by MAF.
