Just finished watching the excellent
Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness Netflix documentary. WOW!!! This was one of the best docs. I've ever seen, and I've seen many. I knew nothing about any of these people and/or about "private zoos" that feature tigers/ligers/etc. prior to seeing this. Here are some initial thoughts - I may post more later:
-JE & DA are both scum-bags that exploit animals for profit, take sexual advantage of naive young people, and are human pieces of $%#@.
-However, IMHO the biggest villain of this piece is CB. She makes herself out to be pure as the driven snow, but she's the biggest scum-bag of all. She's a lying, gold-digging, hypocritical murderess. It's very obvious that she killed her 2nd husband (that she only married for his money). The scene when she was trying to explain his disappearance by saying that he flew away on his own without a pilot's license (which would supposedly explain why there wouldn't be any record of his flight path(s), etc.) was laughable. Obviously she was trying to cover her @$$.
She had motive & opportunity to eliminate him, being that:
1)He wanted a divorce from her - she knew it - and also knew that she would lose
everything if he divorced her;
2) Conversely, if he instead disappeared before he divorced her, she would inherit all of this wealth if they never found him;
3) She had
easy access to several things that could have eliminated him without much of a trace.
Note that women suspected of murder seem to typically get a pass from most people. Conversely, if CB were a man who was suspected of killing his wife under similar circumstances - he would be in jail right now...even without evidence.
-Another huge issue I have with CB's so-called "animal sanctuary" is that she's making as much money (if not more $) off of these animals as the "private zoos" run by people like JE & DA. So, I see 0 difference between her & the people she's claiming are exploiting the animals - which is EXACTLY what she's doing as well.
Obviously no one in the doc. gave a crap about the animals themselves - just how much $ they could make off of them. Disgusting, but not surprising.
-If there were any justice in this world, all of the principals in this documentary would be fed to their own animals - this would be very fitting.
-I do hope that this doc. results in the authorities taking a much harder & more thorough look at the "disappearance" (ha ha) of CB's first husband. Unfortunately I don't think they're going to find anything at this point....but I hope I'm wrong.
Going along with the above, CB's pathetic, p$#%$-whipped 3rd husband better watch his back if he's got any money she could inherit if he died suddenly
-I also hope that this doc. results in all of these private zoos and so called "animal sanctuaries" being shut down completely. But, I know that's wishful thinking.
