New York Daily News - Home - It's jungle bungle by Post reporter:
"A New York Post stunt went horribly wrong when a reporter bought an 8-day-old lion - then dumped the deathly ill cub at an Ohio animal sanctuary yesterday, authorities said.
Post reporter Al Guart told animal refuge officials that he bought the 4-pound cub for $1,000 on the Internet as part of an exposé about animal trafficking - but panicked when he realized he couldn't care for the animal.
'This is a beautiful little lion and what they did is wrong,' said Ellen Whitehouse, director of Noah's Lost Ark, near Cleveland.
Mahoning County sheriff's deputies were called after Guart and photographer Michael Sofronski left the ailing cub at the animal sanctuary yesterday."
