Idk Joe Exotic is a lot less of a criminal than most politicians or presidential candidates. It's too bad that his chance to enter political sphere is sunk for the next few years.

Yeeeeaaahhh, this is what made me apprehensive. Of course the animal abuse, child rape, etc., was a factor, but I was telling one of my similarly uninterested friends that the show looked like it had the kind of escalating wackiness that would end up becoming a chore to deal with after the first couple of episodes.

The filmmakers present you with plenty of info to come to the, obvious, conclusion that almost everyone involved is a piece of poo poo, and these parks are bad. The interviews and footage allow Joe, Carole, et al, to drat themselves.
We can laugh at how eccentric these people are, but still condemn them for their actions.
It's unfortunate that Joe is the only one in prison.

I'd call it more an escalation of crazy rather than wacky.

Carole either killed her husband, or he was some kind of drug runner that got in over his head (and then probably lost it). That's honestly the one two possible outcomes I can see for that.

Its a little depressing how many ppl glorify joe & hate carole
she treats volunteers like poo poo and possibly killed her husband (I think he prob got killed in Costa Rica) but the breeding is the biggest thing
the footage of joe pulling a newborn tiger from her mom with a broomstick was the worst

Joe is a classic case of someone being a massive piece of poo poo, while also having massive amounts of charisma. Dude could make anyone like him just after spending like 5 minutes talking to him, despite the generally awful things he was doing. When he started getting into politics and government and poo poo, his manager said it best with "anyone that sits in the same room as him long enough, would want to vote for him."

i pretty much just watch star trek. she watches real housewives, ghost adventures, my 600lb life and now tiger king. i suspect this is a lot of people's lives right now.

she is at least kind enough to mute real housewives when I'm walking through the living room

I noticed that they never explained exactly how he made so much money. It was just, "everything Don touched turned to gold." :hurr:

I don't even think she treats her volunteers like poo poo.

Compare the socio-economic status of Carole's volunteers versus Joe's employees. He pays them $117 a week, has them living in rat infested trailers, and they work like 12 hours a day.

Carole's volunteers are free to leave any time, probably put in a few hours a month (hence why there's so many), and are frankly probably bored housewives looking for something exciting to do.

Tiger King Evil Rankings (most evil to least evil):
1) Doc Attel - Narcissistic psychopath, has sex slaves, definitely sees himself as a religious cult leader, recruits teenagers, allegedly breeds and euthanizes tiger cubs in a non-stop cycle.
2) Joe Exotic - Sociopath, pathological liar, has sex slaves, recruits the destitute and ex-cons who have no other prospects, plies people with drugs (esp. meth) to keep them around and keep them loyal to him, breeds tiger cubs for sale, only euthanized five adult tigers.
3) Cuban drug lord guy - Used to be a drug kingpin, served time in prison, now is supposedly "out of that life style" yet owns a private collection of big cats. Probably still has ties to organized crime, probably bankrolls his operation by "disposing" of bodies for organized crime. Think about it. How does an ex-con afford all that poo poo?
4) Jeff Lowe and his fat friend who ratted - Wannabe organized crime guys. I 100% believe Joe's allegations about them doing credit card fraud, etc. are all true. Also, all of their allegations about Joe are also true. Jeff Lowe doesn't realize it, but the DOJ is likely prepping to send him to prison for the rest of his life.
5) Carole Baskin - Runs a big cat sanctuary, doesn't breed cubs, relies on volunteer labor of suburban housewives, probably killed her sketchy-rear end husband.
6) Howard Baskin - innocent cherub, too good for this earth. :allears:
