Also, I'm not really surprised. If copyright law in Australia is anything like the US, he needs to file actions in order to protect his branding. Secondarily, his zoo probably gets government funding (and they are almost never political in the slightest way). The regional aussie governments have shown themselves to be not only petty, but wildly viscous when criticized. He's probably scared they'd cut his funding just because his face is in it.
This is hilarious.
