Tiger King - a question for those who've watched it

[clackymules]

I've got this on my Netflix list BUT I'm wary about watching it, because I am massively sentimental about animals (couldn't even cope with The Littlest Hobo as a child, when he'd leave at the end of every episode... ) so my question is - is there any kind of animal cruelty in Tiger King?

No details please - a simple 'yes there is' or 'no there isn't' will suffice!

Thank you!

Oh yes.

Yes unfortunately and made it difficult to watch, despite being engrossed by the crazy storyline

Yes there is

Yes there is, nobody in this show should be allowed near an animal.

There sort of is. They don't show anything directly really and just talk about it.

Probably not "as bad" as what you're imagining though.

Sort of....You don't necessarily see any anything directly, but there are situations that get spoken about, It is a good watch though, Give it a go if you can.

Nothing graphic visually. I struggle watching any animal cruelty but didn't with this.

I’m super sensitive and have also put off watching it for ages. I spent most of the episodes enraged at these awful, awful people. You don’t see any violence towards the animals that I can remember but the emotional abuse is sad, however that’s just imagined by my own sensitive brain. You don’t see it. Having said that, it is worth a watch. And reminds you how totally bat shit crazy some people are! And I love Carol Baskin.

Its a documentary about 3 sociopathic narcissists. Its not just animal cruelty, theres a lot of cruelty to the people around them too.

On the one hand we need to know people like this exist, bring it out to the sunlight and all that, but it does make it difficult to each.

Massive amount of animal cruelty in my opinion

the Tigers are in confined spaces OP....

Thanks all for your replies. I think I won't risk it!

I managed half the first episode and found it too sad.

They show a scene where a newborn tiger is removed from its mother, the mother tiger is unhappy but unable to do anything as she is giving birth to the second cub.
