Watching #TigerKing and I’m expecting great things

Okay so this is the Carole Baskin everyone is talking about?

Obviously this is a live tweet of the first episode

...why the fuck are these people so casual around wild animals, holy shit

I approve of Joe Exotic’s mullet

WHY IS HE SO CASUAL AROUND WILD FUCKING ANIMALS

I approve of everyone’s weird fucking haircut in fact

I have now seen two different people with missing limbs and I can’t help feel that this is a sign of things to come.

Oh wow name-dropping Big Cat Rescue

Dis gonna be gud

Carole Baskin is a massive hippie and dresses like she never left the 70s, I approve wholeheartedly

The ur-example of crazy cat ladies is allergic to cats

Someone fire the screenwriter, they’re on drugs

Omfg we did not need to know that Joe Exotic goes commando

And now we get into the underbelly of the big cat trade in Murica

FAACINATING

Doc Antle comes off as a giant dick, just sayin

WHY THE SHITTING HELL ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SO CASUAL AROUND WILD ANIMALS WITH CLAWS AND TEETH

That little baby tiger has claws and teeth ffs

I hate everyone here who talks about money

Joe Exotic’s real name sounds like you’re gargling with gravel, and that is delightfully on brand

Omg I hate everyone taking photos with the baby cubs

I REALLY hate the giant black guy who bought two tigers.

It’s someone famous I don’t know

OMG GET THE KIDS AWAY FROM THE WILD ANIMALS

I swear to all the gods, America allowing anyone to own fucking giant wild predators is NUTS

Watching this is like watching a massive train wreck and I can’t even. How TF am I going to watch another episode

“This could be another Waco”

OH MY SWEET FUCKING GODS ABOVE

YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL INSANE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANYTHING SHARPER THAN A BUTTER KNIFE

Aaaaaand now PETA is in on it

Just want y’all to know that Joe Exotic’s zoo is protected by armed gaurds

Joe is such a goddamn asshole

Carole Baskin seems like the only sane person here and that is saying something.

And Joe sent her FUCKING SNAKES.

He is MENTAL

And that was just episode 1

Can I just...

Everyone in this goddamn series is on drugs and the most sane person is a crazy cat lady and MAYBE the sheriff

And I CANNOT get over how blasé they all are around WILD FUCKING ANIMALS

I mean, I come from a country that has nothing larger than badgers and you could not pay me enough to get that close to a FUCKING TIGER

I can’t even. I’m horrified. Someone is going to get their limbs torn off on camera at this rate
