Yeah i've heard about his bad side etc before anybody goes into it, but the lions and tigers clearly love him to pieces, as he does them.
I think its quality and i will continue to support the lion man! :P
lol I feel embarrassed but I used to always watch this before I'd leave for school, amazing program, I'm always **** scared they might eat him or something.
Never even heard of it, was it like the steve irwin version of tigers or somethin?

If we're going by Steve Irwin, then this guy'll be killed by a bird of some sorts. Poor guy.Quote:

This was something to do with a major fall out and claims of abuse along with it never ever mentioning the death of Dalu. Although in the last series it does honour him in the end titles. But they never state that Craig doesn't actually own everything either. You are under the impression Craig has control of everything.
Yeh i use to watch this, i was saddened to find out that the guy who worked there Dalu got killed by the lion mans favorite lion and it had to be put down. It's a shame because he was the only one who could interact with it properly and when he left, dalu had to and hence why he died :l Also the park is owned by lion mans mum and she sacked him over personal disagrements as yoshimitsui has said.
Yeah, he still tours around the globe though and if he ever came to the UK - i'd defiantly go and see him.
I might also one day go to New Zealand to see him because i have family over there near Auckland. ;)
The Lion Man is a legend
Love the program (l)
My great-uncle met him a couple of months ago in South Africa. Really cool man.
I watch it every now and then, mainly because the theme tune is amazing.
