I was mildly surprised by how many people seemed eager to participate in that documentary series given that almost everyone came off looking like a slimeball and at least a few came off looking like likely felons. The promise of fame sure does make people say and do some pretty dumb stuff on camera.

they’re all arrogant enough to believe that they’re smarter than the authorities and will get away with it, even if they make their crimes more public.
Also, if someone in this doc series was sleazier than the Tiger King himself, it was this guy… he was a true slimeball.

Trafficking lions who have felonies is obviously not going to turn out well.

So he’s in a lion traffic jam?
This current spate of sleazy mediocre white men finally seeing some (any!) consequences for the abhorrent behavior they’ve been getting away with for decades is heartening. I hope it continues. Antle gave me the creeps every second he was on screen.

Trafficking something something across staid lions.

I barley paid attention to this drama. Was this guy working with the “Tiger King” guy or with that woman who he was fighting with?

Neither; he wasn’t really part of the central conflict so much as a side figure to further illustrate the legally and ethically shady American subculture of exotic animal breeders.

Felony lion trafficking? What’s misdemeanor lion trafficking then?
