The Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park — the big cat zoo made famous in Netflix docuseries “Tiger King” — has been closed to the public. Owner Jeff Lowe, who acquired the former G.W. Zoo from Joe Exotic, says the park will become a “private film set for ‘Tiger King’ related television content for cable and streaming services.”
In a Facebook post published on the night of Aug. 18, Lowe says he contacted the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) to “voluntarily forfeit” his exhibitor’s license, and that “less than 24 hours” later, the government organization notified him they were suspending his license for 21 days.
