not everyone is good at business and wildlife parks are notoriously difficult/expensive to run...but whoever sacked the main attraction from zion(i.e. mr busch) needs their head examining and clearly has no idea about running such an attraction. did they honestly think that the public would be as interested without craig?? this is bad for the cats and the fans(who pay for it all) and bad for craig and those with money invested in zion. for everyone's sake, reinstate craig!!! i cant think of an appropriate term for the kind of person his mother is showing herself as, having studied both sides dilligently. whatever the private and personal issues, if the cats are to be given priority then craig needs to be back at zion. from england, with sadness,hope and love.

What a ridiculous situation but what is done is done i believe maf should now at least attempt to rectify thier position insist on the reinstatment of mr busch forthwith they never after all found themselves in this position whilst he had control of zwg i believe it is tme they admit their part and try to make amends perhaps they should negotiate with present management to make them see the sense of returning mr busch

I wish I had seen this on tv lastnite, and unfortunately dial up is not the best to watch tv online. Did Craig Busch appear on Campbell Live? Does anyone know that he is actually back in New Zealand right now? That he is in Northland? That he has been seen in the North? I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that he is capable in dealing with those beautiful cats, as a business person however I doubt his ability.Why is he not saying anything in person? What about all the creditors owed thousands of dollars, that he is trying to avoid, I guess we'll never know, all they want is to be paid. How can you call someone honourable when they dont even pay their debts? Who is going to back a man who cant pay his own way, are you all going to stand in line and say, "here Craig, we think you're so great we'll finance you, your debt and help you buy back the park and get your cats back?" I havent seen or heard anyone say or do that yet.

I agree with Tony and Nadia. The civil servant staff advisors involved in advising to the Ministers of Labour (Kate Wilkinson) and MaF should be sacked for negligence and abdication of responsibilites causing death and the two Ministers made accountable by PM Key.

The only thing Craig wanted was to help give the Big Cats a sanctuary, but everything has been stacked against him. I cannot understand why it is, that this is the only article that is has been on Craig's side. I just wish that maybe one Newpaper or News Channel will give Craig a chance instead of just thinking the worst of him. He has had to keep silent because of the court cases with alot of miss-information going out about him and the animals, without him being able to defend himself. The attacks have looked like a 'kangaroo courts'. If New Zealand people look out for one another, then why have you abandoned Craig when all he was trying to do is preserve something so special for you all? Lets hope that you wake up before it is too late and all the Big Cats are dead, because the apathy that has been created. I only hope that God will give you a little love in your heart so that you will stand up and help bring Craig back to Zion and help him before it is too late.
