Bob Irwin, dad of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin reportedly left the famous Australia Zoo because he doesn’t agree with daughter-in-law Terri Irwin’s plans to sell the zoo property.
Terri supposedly wants to relocate to her native U.S. with kids Bindi and Robert.
What would Steve think of that????
Zoo insiders claim the rumoured sale to cable network Animal Planet and plans for a $100-million Disney-style wildlife theme just doesn’t sit well with Bob Irwin. It’s not in line with keeping “his son’s dream alive.”
An Australia Zoo spokesman denied claims that Miz Irwin was planning to sell the zoo and relocate to the U.S. with her two children. However, she refused to comment on future plans that might involve Animal Planet, after the zoo announced its expansion.
In other news, legal troubles go on for Mrs. Crocodile Hunter, who is being sued by debt collection agency Alyssa Treasury Services.
She was allegedly involved in a seemingly shady business transaction with a tax commissioner.
Alyssa Treasury is suing Australia Zoo for $2.5 million and Mrs Irwin for $60,000 for allegedly failing to pay bills of exchange.
Selling the land or hooking up with a big corporate partner will surely allow her to pay her debts plus lots of play money!
