Declawing At The Park
From 2000 to 2008, during Busch's tenure as the operator and owner of Zion Wildlife Gardens, 30 (21 lions and 9 tigers) of the big cats were declawed, a "restricted" surgical procedure in New Zealand.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
