Much ado about zoo poo Tuesday, March 4, 2014 African Lion Safari, the popular Flamborough game farm, never had any issues about what to do with the droppings left by its birds, lions, giraffes and elephants. "It's just manure," controller John Ackland told The Hamilton Spectator this past December. "We've tested it, compared it to cow and horse manure and it's just the same." The poo is used as fertilizer for the soybean and fodder fields on the Safari's 300-hectare property and is often requested by local farmers. But, this spring, the fertilizing may be on hold. African Lion Safari learned last winter that the province does not consider its operation a farm, therefore, their poo is not manure. It's garbage and must be disposed of in a landfill like any other waste product. African Lion Safari plans to argue its case to the Environmental Review Tribunal sometime this year.
