    The boss of Christchurch's Orana Wildlife Park is pushing back on poor animal welfare claims.


    More than 20 current and former staff have detailed multiple animal deaths to 1News.

    It confirmsa the zoo was meeting requirements in December -- with appropriate staffing and no animal welfare issues identified.
