Thats the chance you take if you go in with them. Dalu knew this and rescued another keeper from the same tiger a few mths before it got him. Too many animals. Too much breeding, and too many bosses. Craig should have stayed small and exclusive. Too many bored cats. An accident waiting to happen and a chance you take to work so closely with large bored preditors. And it will happen again somewhere, but no threat to public, so ok. Not fare to cats. Craig MUST stop breeding when he gets back.
I puked when they said the animal had been shot. WHY WHY OH WHY cause you caged it up and then it acted normal with it's instinct. Their are only 90 left in the world. Ever hear of tranquilizers or bear spray. I hate people who justify murdering an animal for no reason. I feel bad for that man but that doesn't justify murdering the tiger. I feel shame for the way people take whatever they please.2012 marks the beginning of a new world revolution known as take your lives back. lol ya what a joke
Not to be disrespecting Dalu's memory, but that is ridiculous. It is a sad but natural thing, and is only made more likely when you trap an animal like that in an enclosure and go in with it.
This is so stupid people put them in cages and sometimes there are people stupid enough to get killed but then they still kill the Lion or tiger its stupid
Dala was a dumb ass. Craig told them NOT to go in with the White tigers. I mean, come on! It's a big ass TIGER!!! They eat animals bigger than humans! it's in their nature. So, don't fuck with a big killing machine. Now, cos of his stupidity, they put a beautiful, rare animal down. Makes me sick, stupid spear chucking motherfucker! Damn him and Craig Busch's slut mother who fired him cos her greedy ass wasn't getting paid. I loved that show and my kids learnt a lot from it. Craig is the man and
@c4neckbrace i'm sorry about being dyslexic. but again the word Probably makes your question in-valid. it means i don't know but theres is a likely hood. This is because the white tiger gene is a resesive one. so most captive tigers are inbred. there is a percentage chance that he wasn't but there is a high one that he is. No i don't have EVIDENCE that the poor animal in question wasn't or was inbred all i'm saying is that it may not have been his fault.
@c4neckbrace I'm not say that alll tigers and lions and bears are inbread. so why don't you read the post again. and i also wasn't being mean so i don't deserve to be treated disrespectful. i was only sticking up for the tiger and the person that was killed. what increases the chance of an attack is because the gene pool is getting smaller and smaller and smaller meaning more of an impact on mental health. Yes animals can have mental health problems.
Abu only attacked because he was probably inbred. the signs where there after the attack. I bet you after he did it he cuffed and whimpered back to his normal self. this was not his fault.
Most inbred animals become aggressive threw no fault of this own. and unfortunately most wight tigers are inbred. An insensate like this has happened before in history and again the tiger was just like Abu. The tiger was named Jupiter and was owned by the Cat Dancers group.
WTF why would you kill the tiger, meat are their food, people are meat!! I'm sorry for the guys death but seriously, if your with something that eats meat and has been cooped up in a cage then it's bound to happen!!!!!
@Gazuntiteable Apart from the fact that we don't eat tiger meat.. and it's not a public danger because the tiger was in the cage and the man went in there so it was his fault really!
First off I would like to send out my condolences to Dalu's friends and family. My heart goes out to you! But what I don't understand is why they would put the cat down??? If Craig was there this this wouldn't have happened!!
Pretty sure the poor tiger was shot so that the people could get to the injured/dead man. Quite frankly, I knew this would happen eventually at Zion. If you think you can personally handle big cats every day without ever getting seriously injured or killed, then you're not an expert. Was any of this fair? No. How could it be prevented? Never assume you can handle wild animals, no matter how tame they are! Don't enter their enclosures. Never allow them to become used to people.
they shooot a tiger for doing something i dont know INSTICT!.......what is wrong w/ you you ahould be ashamed of yourselves really.......this cruel world.......god.....
Why do they blame Craig for this? wasent dalu told NOT to go into the tiger cages unless he was around? He said countless times they are very unpredictable animals.
Like the Ep when Craig fell over in a tiger cage and he said he "felt teeth oh his face" yet he did not blame the tiger. He knew it was his fault for not being more careful.
It was partly Dalu's fault for going into the cage with Craig not there its a mistake that got him killed.
Why the fuck did they shoot the animal and what's worse is it's on the border of being extinct. The animal was probably frustrated because there was another animal on it's territory and it is a born killer. If your gonna get into the same cage as a tiger then expect a fight fgs I thought the zoo were supposed to be protecting the animals not fucking shooting them
@morganj1997 if I am not mistaken the boss Craig was not working for the wildlife park due to a fall out with his mum. Put it this way if you know and take the risk to do the job then how can you shoot a tiger for doing what it's supposed to do.
@BlueSta1n These are apparently boers. You know, the pariahs of The Netherlands sent to Africa a few centuries ago? The scumbags responsible primitive enough to make money out of "breeding" animals to be shot? I'm disgusted, but, alas, not particularly surprised.
@BlueSta1n No mate are you kidding me! Just what the f+++ are they supposed to do to get the guy out of there or do they just leave him for food and bollocks to the poor guys relatives Pillock!!! Even in the wild once a tiger has killed a human they are hunted and shot as they are far too dangerous after. Why people like you think an animal life is more or less important than a human life just beats the hell out of me.
Bad for the Tiger. When these big cats in captivity attack people, it is the person's fault. The Tiger was doing what comes naturally. They are wild animals! Play with fire and you are going to get burned. Hello, people! How about the human species stops breeding, gives back the big cats habitat and let them all live as they should in the wild!
They should have put the tiger back in the wild instead of killing it. its cant kill humans in the wild. its a tiger it was doing what comes naturally
how the hell can you shoot an animal for being hungry in captivity? it was his fault for getting to close!!! they should shoot the boss for sending him to clean the cage instead!!!!!!

@mjsminnieprincess White Tigers are the result of a genetic mutation, they are incredibly inbred &serve no conservation purpose.Craig has removed cubs for hand feeding even when the mother was willing to rear them,these animals are then rendered useless for conservation because of this. The only thing Craig busch was concerned about was his ego,he de-clawed cats so that he could "play" with them. It is GOOD that he no longer works at Zion. But you're right,the Tiger shouldn't have been shot
@mjsminnieprincess Of course, which were both entitled to, I am not attempting to start an internet arguement! But I just think it is really important that the truth about this man and this establishment gets out, there are so many fabulous places that do so much for cats with little recognition, wheareas this man did nothing but broadcast lies and yet he is famous, its very frustrating.
Bring Craig Busch back, he is THE LION MAN, there is no one else like him he has done so much with those animals and this is simply an absolute tragedy and loss, Thumbs Up if you agree!! And they Shot the rare tiger like WTF???
This is terrible, The Lion Man is a great show and i can't believe that Craig Busch is sacked =( thats not right, look @ all the things he's done and the fact that he has put himself between lions fighting and nothing happened him, that must say something about the relationship he has with the animals. and they Shot the tiger like WTF
i ame realy sad thet they put douwn the tiger........its not domestic cat,its wild animal.its tragedy,but thet cold hapend to enyone whu work with wild animals........its not a reoson to put douwn a rea animal as white tiger.so sorry to craig to lost friends...........my family love craig and animals...from latvia
those assholes killed the tiger?! those animals are wild they should kill to survive. This is another example of why you shouldn't mess with wild predators.
@anneroosbakkes man they were white tigers n zoo bred n not wild...they must hv shot d tiger whn d tiger wudnt let d man free...i understand its d mans mistake n not tigers but still if i was thr i too wud hv shot d tiger in hope of saving d trainer
Craig's mom probably doesn't want her son getting eaten. It's dangerous to maintain physical contact with tigers. They aren't social creatures, if they kill each other they'll certainly kill humans and Craig has been mauled before despite his apparent gift.
Cant believe Craig was fired by his mum, Craig is a very special person, he's so tuned in to those big cats. Like he says to work with these large predators you havto raise them from birth, and you havto be best friends with them.
@username1774 im with you there, no point in killing the beast AFTER it has killed someone, dalu and all large carnivore handlers know the risks involved in the jobs they do. will they destroy every gun ever made after it has killed someone??
his mother is a stupid bitch!! im surprised those animals r still livin after getting rid of craig they saw them as their dad...if it werent 4 craig the park wudnt of been set up in the 1st place
RIP Dalu...I loved watching this show on Sky 3, so much so that I decided to follow what was going on these days at Zion, it is devastating to hear the news of both Craig being dismissed and ofcourse this horrific death.
Let him go back 2 the park!! its not doing anyone any good keeping him away from the tigers!! he cant change what happened and it wasnt his fault!! his the best with these tigers and what is goin 2 happen 2 them if they close the park!! LET HIM BACK!
this is tragic,,!! those lions and tigers are such glorious, wonderful majestic creatures.. The white tigers were in very small muddy enclosures.. and a few of them didnt look very happy..pacing up and down.. It did look like an accident waiting to happen.. very sad outcome.. as they charge enough and there is enough space on the property to give them larger enclosures .. i think this is the reason this tiger flipped.. he didnt mean to do it they obviously dont understand how powerful they are
Futher to support the Actions taken by the park, I post details of a Siberian tiger, Called Zaya howletts.
Which attacked and killed it's keeper, the owner didn't put it down and some time later Zaya killed another keeper at the zoo. Zaya was destroyed after killing 2 keepers at the park!
you can't release the animal, it has had to much human contact and has no fear of man, Also it has tasted man and if it likes the flavour would look for more on its relaese into the wild.
Abu had become a man eater and killing him was the only way to keep the keepers safe.
Bring back Craig to the park, wouldn't have happened if he had been there and everyone knows it!!! Angry and upset that this beautiful creature was put down due to the incapability of the staff at the park (Craigs clear protocol surrounding the white tigers was not to go in without him s he knew what they were capable of. AND even Craig didn't go in if he felt they were on edge!
Thanks so very much for all your anwers I really appreaciate ...but I still think It wasn't a good thing for them to kill abu cmmon he is born to be wild ..they must have set him free instead of killg him
@karanthakkar123 Your very welcome; Yeah I know what you mean about not killing abu... that is true. Its a shame they had to kill him; because they could have just put abu in a separate area with less contact with keepers until they were able to free it into the wild later.
Plus I think I have heard cases of white lions and white tigers surviving the wild and being able to adapt to it; I'm not sure were I seen that :(
its a real shame to humankind to kill such a rare species just bcoz of their hasty decision ...all the zoo should be ready for tigers attack if they want to keep them if not just let them be free rather than killing poor animal in such a way..I' pleased that somebody agrees with me.
@karanthakkar123 Yeah; I would say that every other zoo would be prepared if any sort of animal attack on their keeps or even visitors... no doubt with out the whole health and safety these days; and plus there was this whole thing about having those stun guns to subdue the tiger if it did or was ready to attack at the park but they did not have any provided to the keepers or any situated at certain points.
@FluffnRipples Yep i also agree with you , you can take Zoo's for example Longeat safari park , West Midlands safari park in the uk they have some pretty large lions and tigers they are just as dangerous as any other in the world but they do have safety regs and they are followed , did they not follow it at zion ? it's looking that way especially since craig told them they were unpredicatable and potentially dangerous without his presence and care.
Abu was a wild animal and they should not be treat like pussy cats they don't have space and freedom like in wild, so we can't blame Abu rest in peace xxxxxxxx
it's like craig says lions only attack under threat the lion must of been protecting something or felt threatened by him its not the lions fault it in his blood to protect its home.
mikeandwendy74 you bunch of cunts!!! craig is a ledge and is best person around to look after and take these animals on if they are gonna here on the planet in 50 years time. Perhaps they should put u 2 in with the barbarys with pork chops stapled to your eye brows you fuckwits!!!!!!
hey do you think that look after those cats are cheep????just to feed them it cost alot of money they ten tons more than us, the mantencion and the renovocion of the new Craig has bilt a you are ignorant lol!
ignorant? do some history study you moron, this guy ripped off so many people on his way to the top its stupid, and go find out about how he handles his cats behind the scenes
I think you should do some research and maybe speak to people who actually worked there. Craig worshiped the ground the animals walked on, do you think that if he treated them badly they would allow him in their enclosures and let alone their cubs???? Think about it. Plus like everyone says Abu must have been protecting something or felt threatened, and Craig made it perfectly clear that no-one should go into the male tigers enclosures without his supervision!!!! R.I.P Abu & Dalu!
This is absolutely ridiculous. Abu should never have been shot, and for them to have treated it as a "crime scene" is pathetic. It was a very sad and unfortunate accident to happen between human and wild animal! I can't believe that someone who has done so much for the conservation and breeding programme of these endangered animals is being treated in such a ridiculous way. I hope everyone comes to their senses soon and gets that great man back to the park.
They shouldn't have killed the animal, & i think they are taking this way to seriously, Abu is a wild animal, Even Dalu would have known this, & as everyone knows tigers can attack & kill anyone at any moment
If this happened in the wild, would the animal still have been shot?
You don't shoot human beings for murdering someone, not anymore anyway
In these situations where an animal attacks a human the human have the right too choose whether the animal is killed, dalu died but we knew he wouldnt of wanted abu to be killed. but they still went of with it not to mension that it is an endangered cat. R.I.P Dalu and Abu
i think that craigs mother is a dope she didnt consider the concequences of her actions and is partly to blame for dalus death the lion man needs to come back to zion gardens!!!!!
i can understand why they shot abu its the same as when a dog attacks they kill the dog responsible but no matter how trained dalu and abu were neither is to blame in my opinion
I can't believe that they shot Abu, its ridiculous. White Tiger's are Endagered, and its there nature. There Tiger's they are dangerous animals and everyone knows that but its a risk they take.
Is Craig Busch working back there now? I hope he is, because you can tell by watching the programmes that the Animals all really trust him, and they really do need him. Craig's mum needs to consider the animals.
@oskar91ron yeah and white Tigers are in grave danger as it is their rare beautiful animals the tigers should have been moved out of the way when the men went into the encloshure
its a shame it happened but dalu knew the risks when he walked in the cage so you cant blame the tiger its just did what they do. i defo think craig should be reinstated and that this wouldnt of happened if he was there.
wtf "RandomRainbow100" it wasnt the way the tigers were brought up.
they are unpredictable animals! durr they are tigers! i think craig is a very VERY Brave man for doing what his doing and he loves them cats, and they need him
it's nothing to do with how the tiger was brought up, all of them were hand raised by craig busch but they are wild animals at heart they can attack whenever
It is a tragedy. I love watching the Lion Man on Sky Three and was saddened by Craig Busch's dismissal by his Mother. Craig Busch needs to be reinstated at the Zion Wildlife Sanctuary. Dalu and Abu will be sadly missed.
@JoLouise1 like you i watch the lion man repeat's on sky 3 because not only do i like big cat's and animals in general i am currently a beginner wildlife photographer. Well the chances of him returning with the dispute happening I say are remote but like everyone I hope that changes.
Thats the chance you take if you go in with them. Dalu knew this and rescued another keeper from the same tiger a few mths before it got him. Too many animals. Too much breeding, and too many bosses. Craig should have stayed small and exclusive. Too many bored cats. An accident waiting to happen and a chance you take to work so closely with large bored preditors. And it will happen again somewhere, but no threat to public, so ok. Not fare to cats. Craig MUST stop breeding when he gets back.

@mjsminnieprincess Of course, which were both entitled to, I am not attempting to start an internet arguement! But I just think it is really important that the truth about this man and this establishment gets out, there are so many fabulous places that do so much for cats with little recognition, wheareas this man did nothing but broadcast lies and yet he is famous, its very frustrating.

This is terrible, The Lion Man is a great show and i can't believe that Craig Busch is sacked =( thats not right, look @ all the things he's done and the fact that he has put himself between lions fighting and nothing happened him, that must say something about the relationship he has with the animals. and they Shot the tiger like WTF

Craig's mom probably doesn't want her son getting eaten. It's dangerous to maintain physical contact with tigers. They aren't social creatures, if they kill each other they'll certainly kill humans and Craig has been mauled before despite his apparent gift.

this is tragic,,!! those lions and tigers are such glorious, wonderful majestic creatures.. The white tigers were in very small muddy enclosures.. and a few of them didnt look very happy..pacing up and down.. It did look like an accident waiting to happen.. very sad outcome.. as they charge enough and there is enough space on the property to give them larger enclosures .. i think this is the reason this tiger flipped.. he didnt mean to do it they obviously dont understand how powerful they are

Futher to support the Actions taken by the park, I post details of a Siberian tiger, Called Zaya howletts.
Which attacked and killed it's keeper, the owner didn't put it down and some time later Zaya killed another keeper at the zoo. Zaya was destroyed after killing 2 keepers at the park!
gimliwhatazor 2 years ago
you can't release the animal, it has had to much human contact and has no fear of man, Also it has tasted man and if it likes the flavour would look for more on its relaese into the wild.
Abu had become a man eater and killing him was the only way to keep the keepers safe.

Bring back Craig to the park, wouldn't have happened if he had been there and everyone knows it!!! Angry and upset that this beautiful creature was put down due to the incapability of the staff at the park (Craigs clear protocol surrounding the white tigers was not to go in without him s he knew what they were capable of. AND even Craig didn't go in if he felt they were on edge!

RIP abu and dalu
karanthakkar123 2 years ago 3
@karanthakkar123 Your very welcome; Yeah I know what you mean about not killing abu... that is true. Its a shame they had to kill him; because they could have just put abu in a separate area with less contact with keepers until they were able to free it into the wild later.
Plus I think I have heard cases of white lions and white tigers surviving the wild and being able to adapt to it; I'm not sure were I seen that :(
FluffnRipples 2 years ago
its a real shame to humankind to kill such a rare species just bcoz of their hasty decision ...all the zoo should be ready for tigers attack if they want to keep them if not just let them be free rather than killing poor animal in such a way..I' pleased that somebody agrees with me.
karanthakkar123 2 years ago 2
@karanthakkar123 Yeah; I would say that every other zoo would be prepared if any sort of animal attack on their keeps or even visitors... no doubt with out the whole health and safety these days; and plus there was this whole thing about having those stun guns to subdue the tiger if it did or was ready to attack at the park but they did not have any provided to the keepers or any situated at certain points.
:( :(

karanthakkar123 2 years ago 2
@FluffnRipples Yep i also agree with you , you can take Zoo's for example Longeat safari park , West Midlands safari park in the uk they have some pretty large lions and tigers they are just as dangerous as any other in the world but they do have safety regs and they are followed , did they not follow it at zion ? it's looking that way especially since craig told them they were unpredicatable and potentially dangerous without his presence and care.

Mikeandwendy74 2 years ago
I think you should do some research and maybe speak to people who actually worked there. Craig worshiped the ground the animals walked on, do you think that if he treated them badly they would allow him in their enclosures and let alone their cubs???? Think about it. Plus like everyone says Abu must have been protecting something or felt threatened, and Craig made it perfectly clear that no-one should go into the male tigers enclosures without his supervision!!!! R.I.P Abu & Dalu!
EASYJET6666666756672 2 years ago
This is absolutely ridiculous. Abu should never have been shot, and for them to have treated it as a "crime scene" is pathetic. It was a very sad and unfortunate accident to happen between human and wild animal! I can't believe that someone who has done so much for the conservation and breeding programme of these endangered animals is being treated in such a ridiculous way. I hope everyone comes to their senses soon and gets that great man back to the park.
Philisocks 2 years ago
They shouldn't have killed the animal, & i think they are taking this way to seriously, Abu is a wild animal, Even Dalu would have known this, & as everyone knows tigers can attack & kill anyone at any moment
If this happened in the wild, would the animal still have been shot?

it wasn't DALU's fault, he was the best there was next to craig. He obviously thought the bond was stronger between him and ABU then it was!
DALU wasn't alone, he was with another keeper, it should of been craig!
It is an extreamly sad tragady, one that could of and SHOULD of been avoided if Craigs mom hadn't fired Craig.
I hope whatever happens, those animals are looked after and LOVED by someone with a heart as Gold as Craigs.
