Judge awards control of Joe Exotic's zoo to his arch-nemesis, Carole Baskin

Joseph Maldonado-Passage—Joe Exotic, if you’re nasty—is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence in Fort Worth, Texas for various crimes related to his ownership and transport of tigers (including killing five) and for hiring someone to murder his rival, Carole Baskin. According to a new report from ABC News, a federal judge in Joe Exotic’s home state of Oklahoma has awarded control of the so-called Tiger King’s zoo to Baskin, the CEO of Florida-based Big Cat Rescue. Baskin’s acquisition of the zoo in Oklahoma is the latest development in this real-life soap opera; the increasingly bitter feud between Exotic and Baskin was documented in the hit Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem And Madness, which also explored theories regarding Baskin’s alleged involvement in the mysterious 1997 disappearance of her second husband, Don Lewis.
