Opinion | Lauren Cox: 'Tiger King' memes and Joe Exotic jokes mask the Netflix doc's most chilling takeaway - NBCNewsTHINK
tells NBC News. “In the livestock industry, young are often allowed to remain with the mother for 24-48 hours before separation, and studies on early maternal separation in livestock show that animals reared without mothers produced higher stress hormones compared to those reared with their mothers... In the case of private zoos removing wild animals from their mother, it is psychologically cruel, medically negligent, and serves no purpose for the animal in question.
Joe Exotic is also not the only offender. Jeff Lowe, an exotic animal owner who eventually takes over the main zoo in the series, is shown packing cubs into small hardshell suitcases, and rolling them through hotels and casinos to bring to private parties for petting and photo ops. If this was being done to dogs, there would be an uproar.that animal abuse was a large part of what made the business work.
Most importantly, the problem of private zoos is so much bigger than this documentary. There are anywhere from. That is a staggering number before you take into account that there are less than 4,000 living in the wild, as noted in the final moments of “Tiger King.”
