Tiger King

Last on my list of shows is Tiger King. You might as well hop on the bandwagon and watch this show before “that b*tch Carol Baskin” sues Netflix and has it taken down. I never thought I needed to know about the world of tigers and exotic pets until I watched this show. I also never knew how corrupt the industry is! They’re all out there for blood. These people are insane. From our main characters Joe Exotic, to Carol Baskin, to Doc Antle none of these people are right in the head. The main message I got from the show is that everyone is exploiting the animals for profit. Carol Baskin is presented as a wholesome tiger lady trying to make a difference and save the tigers. But she is just as bad as the others. Not to mention, she 110% murdered her husband. Anyways, Carol Baskin makes an absurd amount of profit at sanctuary and also has free labors who I would compare to a pyramid scheme type ordeal. Doc Antle is basically running a cult and brothel, enticing young girls to spend every second of their life working for only about $150 a week then sleeping with them. It’s crazy! And lastly, Joe Exotic. I don’t even think I can put into words how insane he is. Just watch and you will find out!
Here’s a couple quotes from Joe Exotic for reference of his personality:
- “I’m Joe Exotic, Otherwise Known As The Tiger King, The Gay, Gun-Carrying Redneck With A Mullet.”
- “I Am Gay As A Three Dollar Bill, And I’m Standing In A Cage With Five Full-Grown Tigers And Lions.”
- “I’m Not Changing The Way I Dress, I Refuse To Wear A Suit… I Am Gay… I Am Broke As Shit, I Have A Judgement Against Me From Some Bitch Down There In Florida.”
