Tiger King with SPOILERS

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Seen it? Recovered yet? ready to discuss it?

OMG!

What did I watch?

The music videos absolutely floored me! how amazing were they? Cat lady and her husband sitting gushing over their video while the film maker was sitting trying to hold in all the cringe

That funeral speech! who the hell jokes about their husbands testicles at their funeral??? With his mum there? And why wasn’t his mum appalled? (Was she high? She looked high) and then the singing? It was at this point I decided it was definitely all staged and they were actors. But no. It’s all real.

What about sleazy McMaster crook Lowe sleazing over the new nanny right to his pregnant wife’s face! Ewww. How are women attracted to these men?

Beerincome I noticed that - how exploitative?!

Also, can we talk about Joe educating the public about protecting the rainforest that the tigers live in and nobody batted an eyelid?!

Carole was absolutely a prostitute, apparently the street where she met her now murdered missing husband is basically a red light district. The only women who walk down that street alone at night are hookers (source: strangers on the internet who claim to know the area).
Plus he was a sex addict who regularly picked up prostitutes, Carole apparently confirmed online that the reason he went to Costa Rica every month was to have sex with prostitutes while she was on her period

Can you imagine what went on in that park that wasn’t filmed?

I think a lot of it was filmed, and that is exactly why Joe set that fire and destroyed it all.

The producer of his reality show said there was a lot of footage of some not very savoury aspects of the zoo - animals having veterinary care without a vet being present sort of stuff, plus god knows what else. All that went up in flames.

I am repulsed by every person involved in this, I think the woman who got her arm chewed off might have been the only person I didn't hate

Totally agree.

I'm still quite shocked that he got a 22 year sentence.

I'm still quite shocked that he got a 22 year sentence.

He was facing 80 years, but got off lightly. Sentences are much longer in the US than the UK.

Hopefully, on release, he will be banned from ever keeping animals ever again.

I noticed that Joe's zoo is still up and running with Jeff as CEO, and is still offering tiger cub playtimes.I feel so sorry for those poor tigers.

im in episode 6 atm, god its nuts, the travis bit was very sad, so tragic.

Yeah, Carole mentions in an episode, "instead if walking the street all the time" and she left home at 15.

The behaviour at the funeral

Binged this over the weekend. Wtf??
It's so bad it's good. You can't help but watch it!
I've got 1 episode to go.

There were elements in it near the start & I thought Joe is actually all right.....
hell no!!

They're all vile people.

I watched the episode with Louis over the weekend and it was very different.

Jo was still awful and he should never have been permitted to have animals but the park was managed and the conditions appeared infinitely better and he appeared to have standards.

I suppose the combination of drugs and hubris just took over.

I watched the louis one too. yes, everything seemed better. I think he just couldnt cope and wanted to make more money at all costs. which meant the animals and their welfare suffered.

yup ive got 2 episodes left, very depressing as it gets further on, i, at least thought as much as he was batshit was caring about the animals 😔😔

But its dissallusioning further on isnt it? Caroles 'enclosures' are noticeably the poorest, out of all three though.

Yes I thought Caroles cages looked a bit rubbish.

tbh I was incredibly surprised that with the amount of guns, drugs, general redneckness there weren't more bite incidents, lions running amok in the towns etc.

I've just remembered when Tim Stark (?) went in with the bears, they were so scared of him

I feel like I need to sit down with a professional to unravel how I feel about Tiger King. My thoughts;

• carol definitely fed her husband to the tigers
• Jeff had been calculating all this for months before he met joe
• Joe was set up by Jeff
• carol's husband has deep mummy issues
• multiple people were 'disposed of' by Jeff's tigers

@StylishMummy I agree with you. As predatory as Joe was, he was a victim of a scheme cooked up by Jeff.

And Carole totally knows more than she'll ever say about her husband's death. The sardine oil comment was just too strange.

carol's husband has deep mummy issues

That is bang on!

I noticed Joe’s nose twitching a lot. I wondered if he was heavily on coke. It would explain a lot if he was.

@BlackCatSleeping I think drug use was common for the entire cast of characters!

Yes yes yes cosmic my adult dd started to cry at the animals reaction to that horrible man. Part of me wanted the tiger to savage the bastard.

(Tim Stark) I believe. Horrible piece of crap that he is. He’s the one that said in Tiger king he really admired the way Dr Attle kept his women ... I think he actually said ‘bitches’
In the Louis documentary Tim’s animals openly cowered around him, it’s totally appalling to watch.

On another note Dr Attals doctorate is in MYSTICAL SCIENCE 🤣🤣🤣

John claimed that the documentary exaggerated the drug use and said that he really didn’t do meth much and his teeth fell out due to genetics.

Yeah, really! 😂

I think Tim Stark is probably the most dangerous of all of them.
