Zion Wildlife Park has been somewhat quieter this week than in its heyday.
There is no 'Lion Man' at the park now, and during Campbell Live's visit there were no tourists either.
Perhaps the public - like the lions and leopards - didn't like the weather.
It was white tiger 'Abu' which mauled senior keeper Dalu Mncube to death in May 2009. Dalu was killed six and a half months after Lion Man Craig Busch was fired by his mother Patricia Busch. Since Craig has left, three cats, including the one that mauled Dalu, have died.
Photos taken at Zion after Craig left and before Mncube's death show visitors handling big cats - no barrier, no restraint and no keeper between the animal and the tourist. In one photo, a member of the public cuddles the head of an adult lion with only a volunteer standing beside her. In another, keepers - one of them Dalu - try to control a lion and a tiger who appear to be fighting. Keepers are also seen encouraging tigers to climb fences, luring them up with meat.
Former park volunteer and friend of Dalu Mncube Sandra Taylor says Dalu confided in her that he was being pressured into taking risks. She says after Craig left - Dalu wanted to get away from what was happening at the park.
He had applied for work in Australia.
What we now know is that in the six months prior to Dalu's death - Craig Busch repeatedly warned government ministers of unsafe practises at the park - which he predicted would lead to injury and even death.
"It also appears that the new park operator... either doesn't know these breaches of health and safety are going on, or he believes them to be acceptable practises. Either way I can state that this will inevitably prove to have fatal consequences." He said in a letter to Biosecurity Minister David Carter and Minister of Labour Kate Wilkinson.
Craig Busch cited keeper's laid back, overconfident attitudes, and gave examples of keepers entering enclosures alone - a breach of protocol.
Craig was also concerned that he wasn't being listened to:
"I confess to being very worried that my concerns will be dismissed because of the ongoing legal action between my mother and I... My conscious would not allow me to ignore what I now know to be happening and I could never forgive myself if I did so and a serious death or injury occurred," he said in the letter.
In a later letter to David Carter, he continues "I have done, and am doing, everything I can to bring these matters to your attention, and I wish to put you on full notice that, should such an incident occur, I will ensure that your agencies are called to account for negligence."
In April 2009 the Minister of Labour Kate Wilkinson told Craig Busch her department was looking into the health and safety issues he raised.
But by May the department appears to have tired of Craig’s letters. On the 21st of May 2009 the Department of Labour wrote to Craig Busch to say that it will only respond to matters when its considers its intervention is warranted. Six days later Dalu was killed.
Zion Wildlife Gardens will face sentencing over Dalu's death in late July.
Meanwhile Craig Busch is still campaigning to take back control of the park. He has established a new team to run the zoo, and has plans for expansion.
But Campbell Live understands that MAF is carrying out another audit of the park tomorrow, and may close it down.
