PETA has “confiscated” three one-year-old lions from Jeff Lowe’s “Tiger King” zoo, which was recently closed. The Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (G.W. Park) ended up in Lowe’s hands following Joe Exotic’s arrest for hiring a hitman to kill Carole Basin.
Yeah, it’s all bananas. Check out “Tiger King” on Netflix if none of those words check out in your rational brain.
The lion confiscation comes as part of PETA’s successful Endangered Species Act lawsuit against Lowe’s former business partner Tim Stark, who transferred the lions to Lowe, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said in a media announcement.
