'Tiger King' employee speaks out: 'Monster is a relative term. And Joe fits the bill'
Fox News ^ | April 26 2020 | Matt London

A one-time employee of the infamous Joe Exotic's Oklahoma zoo said that law enforcement is likely to file new charges against more people -- if investigators examine the web of those involved in animal cruelty crimes exposed by the Netflix series "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness."

"A 'monster' is a relative term. And Joe fits the bill," Kelci "Saff" Saffery, a former worker at the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, told former prosecutor and Fox Nation host Nancy Grace.

According to Saffrey, Exotic -- whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage -- was motivated above all else by greed and that he bred tigers with the purpose of selling their offspring, which is illegal. When the animals did not serve that purpose, they became expendable.

I’ve never seen the show, but I’ve seen pictures of the showman guy from the show. Whenever I see his picture I think I’d love to see a cage match between him and Ozzie Osborne.

Kinda of a weird crime law:

“A trial jury was presented evidence that Maldonado-Passage shot and killed five tigers in October 2017, without a veterinarian present and in violation of the Endangered Species Act.”

The trailer was enough to know this wasn’t anything I’d be watching. Soon after reviews mulitplied how awful the show is.

I watched two episodes. None of the people featured on it were really in it for the good of the animals. Even the self righteous Carol Baskin, who claimed to be “rescuing” the tigers, was exploiting her workers, all of which were unpaid volunteers. One intern was worked 72 hours a week and not paid a dime.

Yep. The trailer showed me I didn’t need to see it. My manager (a woman) loves it.

I saw a picture and a headline about him and the only thing I saw was a homo guy. Not worth my time watching something like that

I watch numerous documenturies and videos on ooodles of animals around the world including various true animal rescues. This show does not even begin to measure up.

In my world anyone convicted of intentionally harming an animal would be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years on a chain gang picking up road kill!
