He called himself Joe Exotic and once lorded over a popular exotic animal park in Oklahoma.
Then he shot and killed five tigers, sold baby lemurs and falsified paperwork to say they were donated, and tried to pay a hit man $3,000 to kill a rival.
Now, the man once known as the "Tiger King" is going to prison for 22 years.
Joseph Maldonado-Passage was sentenced Wednesday for the murder-for-hire plot and several wildlife violations.

Fuck him. I don't care who he pardons, as long as he's gone. We'll get those people another way because they're dumb, or crazy, or both.
