I don't believe Joe should be in jail - and I don't believe he's bad - that's the short end of it. Lowe is listed as a co-defendant in the lawsuit. Murder for hire was the most illegal thing he was convicted for. The cats were provided to Lowe by his former business partner and 'Tiger King' co-star Tim Stark, the subject of PETAs Endangered Species Act lawsuit. He possibly sold animals across state lines which was the most illegal thing I believe he's done. The FDA cited the Wynnewood Exotic Animal Zoo numerous times for animal mistreatment. His facilities weren't the best, but were far better than some - and weren't remotely close to mistreatment of any animals. Tim Stark features more prominently in Tiger King 2, with the docuseries following him as he takes over Joe Exotic's GW Zoo with Jeff Lowe, following the incarceration of Exotic. Since Joe was already shooting a blow up doll dressed to looked like Carole in his goddamn studio, entrapment is right out the window since he was certainly disposed to the crime. Entrapment exists as a defense for someone who has no disposition to commit a particular criminal act. Despite his 15 minutes of fame in the Netflix documentary 'Tiger King. The issue was with how Stark used funds and assets from his nonprofit Wildlife In Need, located in Charlestown, Indiana. He did plenty of stupid, dangerous shit on his own. 'Tiger King’s' Timothy Stark will be held liable for misappropriated funds after a ruling from the Court of Appeals of Indiana. The zoo owner, who appeared in the hit Netflix docuseries Tiger King, was losing his livelihood. If authorities do that it's called 'entrapment'. When Tim Stark fled Indiana in September, his life was crashing around him. He was led by other people (and his dislike of Carol) to say stupid shit. I think your thread here is a poignant question because Tim Stark would be in my opinion devoid of any charisma and for someone who has to admit swears a lot I was disgusted at the way he aggressively spoke to people who disagreed with him and he really seems to be the the worst most horrific sort of animal keeper you could find, even making Joe look milder by comparison and boy was he a mess also Remember watching series 2 last year and just thinking Tim is vile, when I started S1 of TK in March 2020 I have to be honest and admit that while I despise animal captivity especially the small cage and exploitation variety like the lunatics in the series, I was kind of 'taken in' a bit by Joe's persona, I could see he was clearly unbalanced but as someone who is also a bit unbalanced I found he had his own unique of course after not very long into watching I could see his dark side also (his hatred of Carol Baskin was not what actually disturbed me it was other stuff, though I definitely do not condone trying to have her killed by a hitman, I mean the shit with his husbands and the fact that although he loved his animals they suffered like his lovers did etc etc).
