So.....anybody else think that he actually got framed?

The fact that he would use Allen - the Groundskeeper that Jeff Lowe brought in - who had spent the previous episodes saying how much he hated Joe and they didn't get on. Why would you use an adversary as a hired hitman

I watched this and I really liked it. God damn the tiger industry is batshit. Nonetheless here's my dumbass opinoin.

Joe Exotic is basically an idiot who fell into something he happened to be good at. He had plenty of his own issues JUST like the rest of the Tiger zoo dudes. But I would say he was most likely fairly harmless. Even though he said TONS of extremely dumb shit.

Carol Baskin is EXACTLY like a few dozen executive level women I've met in my life. They are super cool to talk to and are absolute rockstars at interpersonal relationships. Especially in the office and similar. The kind of person who can fuck you over, be nice to you and convince you it was for your own good despite them benefiting from it at your expense. Like seriously. The qualities she has are so similar to that it blows my mind.

I had some mentoring early in my career about just staying out of this kind of woman's way when it came to the office and It's helped me ever since. Nothing to gain from trying to fight that shit. I even admired some of them for their complete ruthlessness. But if you wanted to ride their coattails you had to be a woman. In my experience.

The third guy was a legit cult leader with dozens of beautiful women as his members. Props dude. Nice.

the same way a lot of gay porn stars aren't gay.


drugs. money. desperation.

There's a big difference between being "gay for pay" and shooting a couple of 30 minute gay sex scenes because (in the 90s) it was good pay. And rocking up to see some baby tigers and getting talked into thinking you're gay, being in a gay relationship all day every day and accepting another dude in a 3 way gay marraige

This series taught me that people do crazy things do be around tigers. (Thinking about the woman's full time volunteers who work for years for no pay to get a different color T-Shirt so they can get closer to the big cats.)

Fuck that PETA cunt. I’m not even done with episode one and I’m pro gay Joe.
A carny, A yoga cult leader, and a different kind of cult leader..

They all walk a fine line between helping the desperate, and abusing the desperate. The show is pretty pro Joe early, but it gets more into his horseshit later.

Is there a name for this kind of "activist cult"?

Do you have a source for this? Any real cat rescue is fervently against captive breeding, it's literally the first stated requirement for GFAS accreditation. And the second one is no commercial trade in animals or parts. There's nothing profitable about a GFAS compliant rescue, they're colossal money sinks entirely dependent on philanthropy to stay afloat.

You got to understand something about exotic animal people, money is not the thing , it’s the ego. Also and probably especially in her case , they are great money launder and tax evasion vehicles.

Everyone in the show deserves to rot in a cage. John Reinke, Kelci Saffery, and maybe Erik Cowie seemed to be the only ones who actually cared for the animals at all.

Also I’m very pro exotic animal breeding and keeping. IF you can keep them well. Too many are broke bums that can’t afford it or do it right. Also as a American we should have the right to keep them and breed them , so long as it’s humane and done to standards. Want to see a ton of shit go extinct? Ban captive breeding (like that dumb bitch wants) and trust the 3rd world shit holes to keep their tiny wild populations going. See how that works out

The druglord guy with the private zoo and his zookeeper who seemed to actually be just an animal loving nutjob was one of the better ones.

I mean maybe she's an unhinged crackpot, but BCR still does a lot good work caring for animals that have (mostly) suffered a lifetime of abuse. And captive breeding should be banned unless it's explicitly part of a wild release program, which is the one specific exception GFAS allows for accredited rescues.

Are you against ALL wild animals being kept/bred for profit or just poster children like tigers and dolphins? How about wild fish? Fox/fur farms? Why do tigers get a pussy pass ?

it’s a shame Chinese river dolphin is now gone from this earth forever. If only some were kept and bred at aquariums for the small price of doing tricks for their upkeep....

Oh I didn't know she was a full on PETA cultist lol. The laws are too lax surrounding exotic animal ownership. If owners were actually required to provide them with a decent sized enclosure, I probably wouldn't care, but big cats tend to languish in cages barely large enough for them to turn around in.

There are laws. The problems are the bums flaunting them. It’s like the gun debate , don’t grab my guns (exotic animals) because of x,y,z.
you’ve already said what is important , the laws should call for humane treatment and be enforced. I agree with that and I also say it should apply to ALL animals, domesticated too.

outright bans are lazy and I’ve never understood why people want to save the tigers or whales but give two shits about the factory farm they are eating chicken wings from

Will I hate humans if I watch this though? I feel I'm missing out with its exponentially growing popularity but I feel I'm better off avoiding it in the same way I don't watch Springer because I just feel more pity and sorrow for these humans than joy out of their shitty, fucked up lives. I dunno, call me an empath snowflake but I'm not the type to indulge in true schadenfreude.

There are some sympathetic characters who you might genuinely feel sorry for, but for the most part it's a bunch of narcissistic sociopaths who like to hoard exotic animals for profit.

Joe might not necessarily be innocent, but that Jeff mother fucker is the shadiest piece of shit i've seen in a long time. You can just look in that dude's eyes and tell he is one devious bastard.
