TIGER KING
MURDER MAYHEM MADNESS
Most people have heard from the Netflix famous Tiger King by now. The show is about the American subculture of big cat owners, with Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin in the lead. Their story starts with their love for big cats, especially tigers. It ends with Joe spending 22 years in jail for a murder attempt on Carole. How did it come so far? How much did the producers manipulate? And what is the opinion of people our age around the world? We interviewed some people about all this! If you don’t want to read any spoilers about the show itself, start on the next page! Eric Goode, a nature protector, nightclub owner and documentary maker, was doing research on illegal snake business when he first learned about our two tiger loving stars Joe and Carole. Joe Exotic is a fully tattooed, gay as can be, really bad country singing, tiger park owning, politically ambitious, narcissistic madman. Carole Baskin also owns a tiger park, but she claims to care for the animals and rescue them. Goode filmed them both for years, and was sucked into the world of intrigue, fights, sex parties, crime, and in the end, a murder attempt. The footage of this show is amazing. Almost everything was filmed, and Goode also got his hands on old footage of the park. From someone shooting himself in the head to a staff member with a torn off arm after a tiger attack, we got to see it all.
