ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ Statesman photo Dirk Hackenberger and the family family dog, Mickey, aren't bothered by the presence of lion cubs. Lions ready for appearance LIONS from page I The three females don't likely have a future in show business, says Mr. Hackenberger. "In 26 years I've had one call for female lions," he relates. It is the male cub that has the potential potential to take over for his father in the spotlight but the cub's temperament will determine his future, says Mr. Hackenberger. "The male is a little standoffish," he says. Lately, he has been making overnight visits with one of the trainers, who has eight siblings . and two dogs at home. "It's that nature versus nurture thing," says Mr. Hackenberger, Hackenberger, who notes intense contact with humans has improved the cub's disposition. "We have high hopes he'll come along. But if he doesn't, we've had lots of calls from great facilities," that would like nothing more than to offer him a home. To date, only one of the female cubs has been given a name. Marjan was named after a male lion in Afghanistan that had a hand grenade thrown in his face. The lion recently died. The rest of the cubs will be named through a contest to be held during the Toronto Sportsman Show, March 9 to 17. The prize is a family trip for four to Africa, says Mr. Hackenberger.

On May 29, after another call was made from that pay phone, investigators followed a man to a Scarborough home, where they arrested Mr. Suo and Mr. Wang. They admitted to police they kidnapped kidnapped Mr. Ku from his driveway, taped his hands and put him in their car, but they insisted they did not kill him and only discovered he was dead when they opened the trunk. 'They (then) stopped at a gas station and filled a water container with gasoline, gasoline, look the body of Mr. Ku to the Peterborough Peterborough area and burned his body," Mr. Raftery told the court. Defence lawyers said 'Mr. Suo and Mr. Wang's families from China would like to be at the sentencing.
