Has Anybody seen this show yet? I've been watching it on Netflix and I have mixed opinions and feelings about it. I love tigers and they're one of my favorite animals and my favorite wild animal. Emphasis on the wild part because I believe that's how they should be treated, and these magnificent animals shouldn't be kept in cages. :crying







They're way too beautiful and unless they have enclosures big enough for them to run around then they should be kept in the wild. Although I really don't consider it abuse as long as these beautiful animals are being cared for properly financially, physically, and emotionally wise,.. but he the guy (Joe Exotic) also had a murder for hire plot going on as well to destroy this woman from Big Cat Rescue. :nonono




So I'm pretty sure that's what got him busted,.. but the only time I saw him actually physically hit a cat is after they grabbed him by the leg, but that just goes to show that he shouldn't have had them in the first place. Also, depending on how he killed the cows to feed his cats might have been animal cruelty, and he shouldn't have just been getting horses and then shooting them and killing them to feed them, but at least he was feeding them. Anyways, although I'm definitely against the private ownership and breeding of lions and tigers and such,.. but I really don't see how they were being abused. :shrug
 
For many wild animals if we want them to servive, then we need to keep them in zoos and wild life parks.
If carnivores are being kept then in order to feed them another animal has to die.
Just as an animal has to die so you can have leather shoes, belts etc and have a chicken dinner or roast beef etc.

No,.. if we want them to survive then we should STOP KILLING THEM!!! :mad Sorry, my anger isn't directed at you with that comment but poaching is the reason there's so few tigers left in the wild. How much common sense does it take? :rolleyes
 
Wild life parks are much better way to help tigers and other wild life to survive. Zoos are extreme cruelty.
I could cry for any animal or Bird kept in a cage.
 
Hi HeIsRisen2018,

Not familiar with Tiger King but could recommend Kevin Richardson, aka "The Lion Whisperer", who is a sanctuary owner in South African who works with African lions and other big cats.

He is an amazing man and his closeness with lions reminds me of Isaiah's prophecy of a new earth where it says:

"The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain, says the LORD."
Isaiah 65:25 (NASB)

Well zoos in America don't really keep animals in actual cages anymore so that's why I'm alright with them, but after finishing the show yesterday this guy actually takes tiger cubs away from their mommy right after their born. You don't even do that for kittens and puppies! Poor little babies. It broke my heart to hear them cry. :crying

I've heard of him before. :)
 
Has Anybody seen this show yet?

Yes, I watched. I can't believe this is real life, but then again...........life is CRAZY.

I was surprised that a tiger cub costs only $2000. But, who the heck needs a tiger?!?!

The human aspect of this series is very messed up. Lots of hatred. yikes

More than you have..
Many endangered species are endangered because of the conflict between the needs of growing local populations, the loss of habitat and the animals killing the locals, there animals or eating there crops.

Developing ways for the local population to make money out of tourisms and protecting the locals sops the killing of he wild animals

Unfortunately stats mean that often the WA o resore and continue a articular option of animals is only in as, safri parks etc.
