When I was halfway through watching Tiger King, my friend said he thought he wanted all of them to get eaten by the tigers. I just finished watching the whole documentary. I understand what he meant. #TigerKing

Incidentally reports said that the show’s lead character named Joe Exotic is infected by the coronavirus. He is reportedly in isolation in a Texas prison, where currently he is serving his 22-year sentence for animal abuse and involvement in a murder-for-hire plot.
