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 rendering video of The Lion Man on You Tube where you
can without doubt see and hear how upset his big cats Zion and Gandor are:

The special bond between The Lion Man and the big cats means they see Craig
as their Father, and they need him just as much as he needs them. Right now he
has sold almost everything he has just to raise money in his fight to get back the
park and cats he misses SO much!

Craigs Mother and the new management are
misleading visitors of the park and the Zion website that
The Lion Man is still in charge and are riding on the
back of the success and global fame Craig has
brought to it. He now needs the support of ALL his fans
to show Patricia that we want Craig to come back.
Because without the Lion Man, the long term future of
Zion Wildlife Gardens and these endangered species is at risk, not to mention The
Lion Man TV show which has captured so many hearts across the world and raises
the awareness of the near extinction of these beautiful animals.

The cats are 50%
of the park and The Lion Man is the other 50%, so we need to get him back NOW!!
So come on everybody, we cannot accept this. We all have to do something to
help instead of just sitting here doing nothing. Even though you might be living in a
country far away, you can still help Craig and his big cats!

this is disgusting that park would not run without craig and you can tell he loves them animals to bits. bring him back and sack his mum thats what i say.

[mozzie02]

i cant believe craig was sacked its a disgrace get him back with the animals he loves and the animals that love him

[sagungurung109]

HE IS RULY "THE ION MAN"

[fraktuura]

@IAmADalek No he doesn't, you can see from any of the documentry videos that they all have their teeth still and i've seen him get scratched. You don't need to disarm them to be able to be close to them, he raises them from birth so they think of him as family.

[IAmADalek]

Great man who removes the Big Cats Teeth and Claws so he can get close to them. Go away Lion Man.

From 2000 to 2008, during Mr. Busch's tenure as the Operator and owner of Zion Wildlife Gardens, most of the big cats were declawed[5], a "restricted surgical procedure" in New Zealand. According to the Zion Wildlife Gardens site, these cats are now going lame (a well-known result of declawing) and have difficulty grasping their food. - Wikipedia

Pretty cool.

[beannie51]

@makeupobsessedteen I'm not getting what you said so I am going to take a wild Guess and say, I was out of line. Right Or Wrong?

[makeupobsessedteen]

@beannie51 I don't understand why you have posted this if its towards craigs mother brilliant if not :/

[beannie51]

How can I forgive you for that. So NO, the Apology is not accepted why? You are dead to me. Get Out of My life and stay away. You are known as Bitch to me. Get steppen before I make you.

[beannie51]

I hope to God His Mother reads what I have to say, because Words can't explain what I feel about you. I dont even Know but I already Hate you. You took his Heart and stabed it by taking his pride and Joy Away. He Loved those Animals. Its like CPS Taking your Child away for something you didnt do.

If I was in his shoes and you tried to apologize I would say this, "You turned a Blinds Eye and you took everything that I ever loved Away from me.

His mother should be fed to the lions, literally...
