LOS ANGELES - The private wildcat zoo at the center of the hit Netflix series “Tiger King” is closing its doors permanently, its owner said, citing pressure from animal rights activists and inspectors.
Lowe said his license to run the zoo had been suspended for 21 days by U.S. government inspectors, and that he had voluntarily forfeited it. Writing in the post on Tuesday, he said the collection of lions and tigers would “continue to have excellent care.” It told the story of flamboyant Oklahoma zoo keeper Joe Exotic, his rivalry with Florida big cat rescue activist Carole Baskin and his imprisonment for hiring a hitman to try to kill her.
