Don't Free Joe Exotic
The Issue
DO NOT FREE RACIST AND ANIMAL ABUSER Joe Exotic!
A new seven-part docuseries from Netflix called Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness follows filmmaker Eric Goode as he details events leading to the 2019 murder-for-hire and wildlife-crimes convictions of notorious abuser of big cats Joseph “Joe Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, and PETA plays a key role. PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement Brittany Peet agreed to be interviewed for the series to talk about the horrid abuse that animals suffered at the hands of Joe Exotic and other exhibitors featured in the film.
Maldonado-Passage—aka “Joe Maldonado,” “Joe Schreibvogel,” and, of course, “Joe Exotic”—has been in PETA’s sights for years. He is a notorious animal abuser and was once the primary supplier of big-cat cubs used for the cruel cub-petting industry. The world will be a safer place for everyone with this man behind bars, where he can no longer harm animals or the animal advocates he threatened.
Roadside zoos and other tourist traps that exploit lions, tigers, and other animals are often even worse than Tiger King lets on. However, the series does a good job of accurately portraying animal exhibitors—including Joe Exotic, Jeff Lowe of the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (G.W. Zoo), Bhagavan “Doc” Antle of Myrtle Beach Safari, and Tim Stark of Wildlife in Need—as exploiters and abusers who would do anything to keep the money coming in.
Ultimately, Tiger King focuses mostly on the battle between animal rights activist Carole Baskin (the CEO of accredited wildlife sanctuary Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida) and Joe Exotic. The series largely skips over serious issues of animal welfare, including the horrors of cub trafficking and the problems with commercial cub-petting attractions.
What You Won’t See in Tiger King
In addition to his murder-for-hire conviction, Joe Exotic was found guilty of 17 counts of wildlife-related federal crimes, including killing five endangered tigers and trafficking in endangered animals.
In nature, tigers stay with their protective and nurturing mothers for up to two years, but tiger cubs used for photo ops are typically torn away from their mothers within days, hours, or even minutes after birth.
Baby big cats, just like baby humans, need the constant comfort of their mother. They need her milk, her warmth, and her companionship—and most of all, they need to be undisturbed so that they can rest when they need to and develop properly. These frightened, helpless infants are susceptible to many dangers, including not only physical abuse inflicted during public encounters but also cold and heat stress, malnutrition, exhaustion, and infectious diseases. These are all especially challenging for babies, since their immune systems aren’t yet fully developed.

Lost behind the pseudo-drama and huge egos in Netflix's #TigerKing are exploited animals facing a lifetime of captivity, abuse and neglect. �⠀
⠀
Over the years, we've conducted several undercover investigations of exotic animal breeders and traders, revealing the rampant animal cruelty inherent in cub-petting operations and roadside menageries. ⠀
⠀
No one should keep wild cats as pets or patronize these operations. ⠀
⠀
Together we can end this madness. Visit the link in our bio and urge lawmakers to support the #BigCatPublicSafetyAct. ���⠀

In 2011 an HSUS investigator worked undercover at Joe Exotic’s G.W. Exotics for 100 days. In 2014 the HSUS investigated two other roadside zoos and made an undercover visit to Antle’s facility, Myrtle Beach Safari. While Joseph Maldonado-Passage (“Joe Exotic”), Kevin “Doc” Antle and others featured in the Netflix series “Tiger King” are now household names, the Humane Society of the United States has been working for years to stop the horrific treatment of animals at these - and many other similarly cruel - operations. Please join us in asking Congress to pass the Big Cat Public Safety Act, keeping these animals out of the hands of those who would exploit or not care for them properly.

gave the world just a glimpse into the suffering tigers experience every day at roadside zoos. These abusers’ reality show antics sentenced all of the animals in their care to a lifetime of misery.
