Lion Man Reportedly Did Not Report Child Mauling

Campbell Live has an exclusive investigation into the Zion Wildlife Park.

Our reporter Natasha Utting has done a great deal of work on this story.

It is our belief that Zion has been beset with more problems, than we have previously been told.

Tonight, we provide proof of that.

Four years ago, a 13-year-old boy was mauled by a lion at the park, according to Megan Busch, the sister of Craig ‘the Lion Man’ Busch.

“He let a 13-year-old boy and his family loose in an enclosure with four lions and a tiger – that boy got his legs mauled,” she says.

She says at the time, the attack went unreported to the public, to the police and even to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF).

According to Ms Busch, MAF were not told for two years – when her brother had gone.

The child and his family were on a private tour with the so called ‘Lion Man’, who has just been hired by the park’s new owners, to care for the big cats again.
