Man was mauled to death by a white tiger !!! This Is Just an accident waiting to happen NZ

[sKiTzMiCk69]

As far as im concerned it dont matter how trained you are or how confident you are one day when a tiger or lion or woteva is having a bad day they will take it out on you the nxt time you come to annoy them... Ppl get to confident and relaxed around them because they havent been bit or attacked yet so you start to think there harmless and the nxt thing u know ya got them sinkin their teeth into ur head... U deserve to be eaten if u wanna fuk around with the top of the food chain.. Piece idiots

[rubycalista]

As far as the story of lion park goes, I see that Craig has genuine love for the big cats and from his travels to other countries you could see the man and animals return the same warmth to him. And from the cold blooded reply from Tim and Patricia, they are just immature and cold towards the animals. Why sack Craig who build the kingdom and obviously has real connections with his Lions? The accident was created by the new management and the animals are definitely unhappy along with rest of us

[MsNayners24]

@rubycalista The owners are interested in making money, period. Demetri says that he immediately pointed out that the handlers needed something to protect themselves. Lions & tigers are predators by nature and can turn at any time. I question the training/education of the trainers in working with wild cats. Inevitably, as Demetri pointed out it's just a matter of time before something terrible happens.

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

you wouldnt stop a father from seeing his children for no reason so why stop Craig from seeing his lions. Those animals look up to him like a father. That tiger was probally angry that CRAIG was not there. so he kiilled that man in frustration.

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

hope abu having a better after life

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

why do have to kill abu

he was an awsome wild tiger i what happened to protecting them from becoming extinct. thats one less tiger in the worlds

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

why would you fire your own son?

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

stupid woman

[RoXyLiVeLoVeLiFe]

RIP ABu and dalu

[TheKaratekid1998]

hey Patrica u enjoy hell wont u?

[monkey2012ism]

@TheKaratekid1998 she was cleaning up lion mans mess blame him

[09soilder]

she should be held accountable as she was the one not to approve a proper care facility and the tiger handler such as Dalu should have been given a gun or something in such case of an attack occurring.

[kinkyloki]

What a bitch!!! Why sack the only person that has a close bond with these animals? I blame her for Dalu's death. The tiger is just an animal a wild animal & it had a strong bond with a bloke that was no longer there. standingquiet had a good point about the protocol. The tiger should not have been put down.

[kawasakikid800]

Craig or the lion man so to speak was the majority shareholder of the parkand still is so how could she have the authority to sack him? doesnt make any sense

[mikeluvva]

So that guy says that they asked for more protection but didn't get any. So why did they still go into the enclosures?? I'm damn sure that if i had any fear of the animals i wouldn't be in there with them!

[deepblu74]

That Patricia !!!, she is an evil evil woman, how can that woman call herself a mother, or a big cat conservationist, she knows nothing about big cats and knows less more able being a mother,

[poulandy]

Craig was the only one who should ever have been on his own with them. He should be the owner of the park - he really cared about the animals and was the only one who had a real interest in it (not for the money) it was his park and shouldn't belong to anyone else

[ourenquiries]

Craig was sacked in 2008



[CriteriaUrgent]

greatest love, Abu was also one of Dalu's favourite white tigers and he would of been the 1st person to stand up and defend the tiger had he survived. Taking Craig away from Zion wildlife park is the biggest mistake his mother could of done and is pathing the way for all the blame to be pushed onto the one guy who would himself quite happily lay his own life down for these beautiful animals, what has happened comes with the territory and all involved knew that. Now Bring back Craig! Lion man!

[CriteriaUrgent]

All these points that this guy is making are valid but surely like Craig said Dalu shouldn't have gone into the enclosure without him but at the end of the day no matter what you do these animals are A-class predators and they will do what comes natural to them if you make a mistake unfortunately the outcome isn't always good and it's with deep regret that poor Dalu was attacked, but he did take this action on his own and knew the risks he has worked with these animals for years and was his

[MsNayners24]

@CriteriaUrgent You said it so well! I feel like many of the trainers become relaxed and forget that humans are on their list of prey. This happens all too often, all around the world.

[Rosaponders]

Abu DID kill Dalu! BUT! Patricia Busch contributed to that death by sacking their handler and trainer Craig1 What an ill educated, stupid woman.

[LozJonesYT]

that news presenter is such a disrespectuful person

[ThePrimetime22]

i agree 100% patrica killed dalu.

and that guy and the end was talking rubbish about not being under pressure to go into the enclosure. that was his job which as many people agree with was unsafe without craig.

im not saying if craig was there it wouldn't of happened but its a lot less likely

so thanks to patrica a guy that from watching on tv seem like an incredible guy has died and also a rare white tiger........thanks patrica rot in hell!

[weedxXAK47Xxweed]

didnt he keep one of the lions that died in a freezer with all the animals food until the cameras came back

[AnimaniaxIII]

Should have checked with the Lion first before sacking craig

[Chardymc]

anyone who ever watched the programme would know that craig always said no keeper was allowed in with the tigers without him ever. that man at the end is an idiot!

[MoogesKeyCollection]

That newsreader is a massive homo-douche, and craig should never have been sacked

[DaleT1989]

Yeah I would imagine your biased research would agree with the latter because we all know how much you news reporters love a sad story with some to blaime and how you love to sit on your ivory towers and point the finger at people who are just trying to do something fuckin' productive or helpful with their lives. Something went wrong, yes, but at least these people are trying. I can't fuckin' stand news reporters with their self richeous, smug, bullshit attitudes!

[sophieg331]

she fired craig fir abusing her dumbass

[xXskunksmokeXx]

i always though Dalu seemed scarded and not fully confident when he was around the cats i dont mean this in a bad way and i have lost family well befor there years due to a freakish accident but i didnt see Dalu as this great lion train people say he was.. from the body languae of Dalu when he was around the lions i didnt think he was as knowlageable as Craig

[wiccannicky]

MAYBE IF THEY HADNT fired craig bucsh all would be ok... but thanks to his bitching mother.....

[waterchildtera]

if your sick or weak or injured they sense it and instinct kicks in

they eat the sick and injured

she didn't give them a chance of defense

[laydeejessica20x]

From what iv read Craigs mum sacked him because of his worrying mental state (not sure if that true or not) i still think she was in the wrong sacking him he has raised the majority of them lions and tigers and without him things wer bound to go rong !!

R.ip Dalu

[DeerhamsGirl101]

Patricia knew about the animal contact that her son was doing. So why didn't she do something about it before Dalu lost is life? The reporter is a prick!

[ryant1993]

she fired craig coz hes a woman beater and dont look after the lions apparently

[ThePrimetime22]

@ryant1993 id beat his mum up dont blame him, and (this is directed at you cuz u said appently which indicates you got it from a source) whoever the source is......have you ever watched the show

[Pomfreydoodah]

Poor Dalu, Its so sad but Abu should not have been put down. Its the Lions Instinct as it is wild.

Its A lion, not a cuddly toy. They mess with them too much.

RIP - Dalu

RIP - Abu

[92Vedat]

@Pomfreydoodah its A TiGeR!!!!! use UR SENSES LOL

[Pomfreydoodah]

Poor Dalu, Its so sad but Abu should not have been put down. Its the Lions Instinct as it is wild.

Its A lion, not a cuddly toy. They mess with them too much.

[ThePrimetime22]

@Pomfreydoodah appently the lion wasn't put down , they shot abu in an attempt to save dalu, dont know if its true though.

[natasham069]

CRAIG WAS SACKED FOR HAVING AN AFFAIR ON HIS WIFE...

[bamit1979]

:( I know it's late but still RIP Dalu Mncube

[kcolzey07]

Stupid bitch of course its an accident waiting to happen but if you want to work with these animals .. You understand the risk and have got to accept the concequences.

[Madme43]

Patrica Busch the killer......

[Barristered]

The whole point of the park was the human to animal physical contact which Craig Busch initiated. Trying to keep up the human contact show should have been Craig and Craig alone. Asking keepers to enter big cats enclosures with them still in there was something Craig instigated and was carried on by his mother.

Patricia Busch saved Craig from bankruptcy, the park from closure and most importantly she saved the cats from being put down.

[Barristered]

She may not have qualifications to look after animals but neither did Craig.

Patricia Busch was forced into sacking Craig because of his financial incompetence and the level of her investment in Zion.

Given Craig's subsequent behaviour, if she were put in the same position by Craig again. She would let Craig go to prison, any of his property be repossessed and the animals be put down.

Craig has no chance of winning his mythical court case due to his own stupidity.

Craig wants your cash. The End

[idubstepper]

The new reporter is a dick. The whole point of the park was that it was one of the only ones where the trainers are literally in touch with the lions or tigers, the trainers go into there knowing that this sort of thing would happen, they all take precautions but Dalu would not have expected or thought that this would happen this time out of all the other days he worked there. At the same time im sure he would not blame the tiger for this, he knew the risk but he loved the animal.

[LeeSmellyFingers]

Routine that was set by craig, craig who would go in there with the other people and sometimes lock the cats up if he thought/knew something was right, yeah Craig the guy that got SACKED is to blame for not being allowed to be there. This park is going to be closed down in the next few years, horribly waste

[Peaceloveandsnoopy09]

patricia bush,,, you're a BITCH BITCH BITCH

[twilightcat17]

poor craig. they didnt even allow him to attend the funeral of the tiger and didnt tell him where he is buried. craig is an inspiration, and his mothers a bitch. RIP Dalu, xx

[bassmankm1988]

wat a asshole craig never let anyone go alone with the tigers the man doesnt know wat he is talking about BRING BACK CRAIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mel70001]

if any1 actually watched the series..craig actually states on 1 show that sum of the tigers r abit funny of who goes in2 their area so wot were they thinkin doin it while craig wasnt there...those poor animals them stupid cunts r killin them slowly by nt lettin craig seeing them!!!

[Kaiwa88]

fuckin jurnels......fuckin cunts.....

[thetalentedmrman]

lets hope that damn tiger Abu was shot in the head several times when they killed it.

[onepeople2009]

wat a prick....he's basically blamin' craig 4 de death

[HouseHoldAnimator]

look its bad enough for a mother to sack a son but aswell as having a tv show destroyed over an arguement is over the top.Surely she could see that Craigs life revolved around the lions and the lions life was revolved aroun him,I'd be pretty pissed if someone took away someone I loved over a fight I would be pissed and I'm a human.This is how bad a lion would act up if someone was taking from them

[MetallicDannyR]

and i also want to mention that i loved watching the lion man on tv and the theme song i cannot get out of my head lol i love it bring craig back the lions need him and he needs the lions!!!! once again R.I.P Darlu :9

[MetallicDannyR]

ok this is what i have to say but before i do R.I.P darlu..... how ever Craig aka the lion man said in an interview which is on youtube that he stressed that nobody should enter any of the male tiggers or lions enclosures without him... if craigs mother sacked craig before the attack happened then surely the lions played up because craig is like there dad and they lost him this must be why they played up...

[hotBABEalways]

R.I.P Dalu, you died doing wat you loved, but its still so sad.

[StopStealingEggs]

Wait. I thought Craig was sacked because of this incident?

Was he sacked before Dalu was killed?

WHY WOULD SHE FIRE CRAIG?

Dumb bitch.

[micklfc2008]

i was watching the show a while ago and it said that craig was away looking at some new cubes to bring to the park and dalu should not have been in the inclosure with the white tigers when he was killed . craig said in an interveiw which is on youtube that only he was suppse to go into the male white tiger enclosure

[ukmayhem]

@StopStealingEggs Craig was sacked November 2008, this happened May 2009

[Madme43]

@StopStealingEggs she is dumb she would know the outcome by taking away Craig how would anyone feel with the loss off your father. That is what that cow did to the cats.

[draco3113]

her pic wants to make me sick

[Lozfl01]

As with kids if you take away the stability & the authority they play up. Patricia knew what she was doing by kicking Craig out. If Pat is doing what is best for the animals why is she hiding from the press & news rooms. Shame on you Pat it's you who has made this situation & only you or the courts can change it. re instate Craig so that no more of this will happen. with all due respect people the staff at the park are doing their jobs it's not their fault for what Patricia has created

[kiddolass]

Tim Husband hummed and hawed is way through that interview,......HE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE "THE LIONMAN" CRAIG BUSCH IS THAT MAN. GO CRAIG WE'RE BACKING YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD XX

[SuzLa1]

Everybody agrees that by his mother taking Craig away was a bad move, so I hope the court sees sense and gives back Craig the right to the park that he founded.

[Standingquiet]

Abu did not Kill Dalu, Patrica Busch killed Dalu by sacking Craig. Craig's protocol when he was there was he was the only one to enter with the white male Tigers and even at times he felt the need to lock them away before cleaning there encloser. To these Animals Craig is there father and they are all no doubt missing him greatly. Yes they knew Dalu but Craig raised most of them from birth and has a special bond with them. What the park needs is to get rid of these amuteurs and bring back Craig

[simba00784]

@Standingquiet haha, yea she killed them right? she was the one that mauled dalu to death

[monkey2012ism]

@Standingquiet lion man is to blame
