owner and ringmaster of the Whirling Brothers<br />

circus, climbed under the foundations of the<br />

building with nothing more than a broom stick<br />

to try and coax the lion out!<br />

Police were very critical of the number of<br />

spectators, including parents with young<br />

children who stood around idly enjoying the<br />

spectacle as the lions roamed the reserve.<br />

Two young cyclists proved a particular<br />

nuisance to the police as they chased one of<br />

the lions up Memorial Drive.<br />

Efforts by circus staff, armed police, veterinary<br />

surgeons and members of Rotorua’s other<br />

emergency services were hindered by the<br />

crowds who thronged the area as if in an<br />

African safari park.<br />

Eventually all the lions were recaptured<br />

without shooting them.<br />

Who killed Lucy the poodle?.<br />

So who threw Lucy in with the lions? It’s a<br />

question that has consumed Kent since the day<br />

he witnessed the escape in 1986.<br />

Now Kent is digging deeper into this<br />

unbelievable true story, launching his own<br />

amateur investigation to find the identity of<br />

the perpetrator. Official reports of the time<br />

suggested street kids were to blame, but as<br />

Kent investigates further, new theories emerge.<br />

Talking to former circus performers, journalists<br />

and police, Kent sets out on a journey to<br />

crack open this unsolved case and answer the<br />

question, who killed Lucy the poodle?<br />

Mentored by former Police Ten 7 favourite<br />

Detective Sergeant Graham Bell, Kent uncovers<br />

a spiralling list of suspects and a compelling<br />

story that proves truth really is stranger than<br />

fiction.<br />

The documentary concluded that it is highly<br />

probable that an inquisitive poodle could easily<br />

be snatched up by the paws of a lion through<br />

the feeding flap that was found to be left open.<br />

Who killed Lucy the poodle is a bizarre, funny,<br />

distinctly Kiwi tale and it’s unlike anything<br />

you’ve seen before.<br />

The full season of Who Killed Lucy the Poodle?<br />

will be available (within New Zealand)<br />

exclusively on TVNZ OnDemand (for as long<br />

as they screen it). Or you can get an 18 minute<br />

overview of the documentary on YouTube<br />
