A zoo manager lashed out at the owner of the centre and threatened to kill him, after claiming he was being bullied as a love triangle boiled over, a court heard.
Kenneth Gibney was brought in as boss of the Fife Animal Centre after it was bought over by animal experts Michael Knight and partner Briony Taylor, reported the Daily Record.
But it led to clashes between Mr Knight and Gibney over the running of the zoo and the strained atmosphere deteriorated further when Ms Taylor left her partner and started a relationship with the zoo manager.
