Tiger King: Joe Exotic's former zoo handed to rival Carole Baskin
2 June 2020
A zoo formerly owned by the star of Netflix documentary Tiger King is to be handed over to the woman he was convicted of trying to have killed.
A federal judge has given Carole Baskin control of Joe Exotic's old zoo in Oklahoma as part of a ruling in a $1m (£800,000) trademark dispute.
Joe Exotic is currently serving a 22-year sentence for his involvement in a murder-for-hire plot and animal abuse.
The zoo's current operator has been ordered to leave within 120 days.
Tiger King, which became a huge hit on Netflix in March, tells of Joe Exotic's colourful life and his rivalry with Baskin, the owner of an animal sanctuary in Florida.
