Zion Wildlife Gardens Ltd

Media Statement January 18, 2012 1

Zion Wildlife Gardens Ltd


Rabobank New Zealand has confirmed the Receivers of Zion Wildlife Gardens Ltd are moving forward with plans to sell the park (with the wildlife) to an interested purchaser, with a conditional contract now in place.


Rabobank General Manager New Zealand Ben Russell said the Receivers are acting to ensure the wildlife park is sold as a going concern, with the wildlife remaining in the park.


“There is not, and has never been, any intention to euthanize any animals at Zion Wildlife Gardens. The welfare of the wildlife is a priority – they are being very well cared for and the planned sale of the park would enable them to remain in place,” he said.


A Court hearing in Auckland today was part of action solely focussed on facilitating the sale process and ensuring Zion Wildlife Gardens continues as a going concern with the wildlife in place.


All further comment will be made by Receivers PriceWaterhouseCoopers New Zealand.
