Tiger King is awful. These people are awful.

Both the people running these shitty operations and the people paying money to visit and get photo ops with cubs. Dozens of big cats in feed lots basically.

If you want an actually good documentary about tigers try this one. Based on hidden camera footage tracking a wild tiger family for several years.

Ideally I’d like there to be enough wilderness for natural ecosystems to flourish, but I’ve made my peace with well-run zoos, staffed by biologists who both care and invest research effort at adequate scale. Amateurs running sentimental zoos of only charismatic megafauna, no.

For all it’s horrors, factory farming of livestock at least has a defensible purpose: food. Wild animals you don’t eat but just raise for narcissism (or just as bad, for exotic food/insane medicine as in China)... something really ugly about that.

I'm kinda shocked you tried this, presumably expecting some result other than this.

I haven’t watched the show but it’s clearly a Covidian meme. What do you think made it so catchy?
