The Netflix documentary series "Tiger King" sheds light on the culture of tiger ownership in the U.S., but doesn’t reveal how prolific this culture really is. This video explains the patchwork of state laws that makes private ownership of tigers hard to regulate.
Illustration: Carter McCall/WSJWhy can’t laws be passed to regulate the ownership of these animals? Inspectors assigned to regularly check on the animals and conditions? Why not just outlaw it completely?
Easy, cause they don't want to. Period.
Why do people watch this crap?
Or, really, why it is abuse. They REALLY needed to go into what these places are doing and WHY it is SUPER bad for big cats.
I just finished it yesterday and can’t believe people are talking more about CB killing her husband, then the atrocity of the tigers!? saveTheTigers tigerKing
netflix is scum for promoting and profiting off animal cruelty.
This is a whole other reality I knew nothing about.
I want to find out where the missing billionaire is
Should be illegal
It is disgusting. Stupid cruel humans.
Welcome to quarantine wsj
the lag time between WSJ and the rest of pop culture must be like years now rite?
Shut up and give me my stimulus tiger cub.
I once lived with a lion cub, who once escaped into the streets of a major American city.
There were tigers in that show?
NeverTrumpers
I will not see this show and don’t condone people having ownership of wildlife and exotic animals. This is animal cruelty done by people with money and must end.
I haven’t seen the show, but if Netflix can put topics like tiger ownerships in the US under spotlight, it can definitely make the public more aware of the environmental crisis, low quality running water in southern Sahara Africa, South Asia, and political corruption in Latin A.
let the wild animals live in the wild, or latent problems will find humans.
