Tiger King: Who's the Worst?

Tiger King is the latest fascinating true crime documentary to take over Netflix and it's hard not to talk about it. Between Joe Exotic's feud with Carole Baskin, Jeff Lowe's hostile takeover and Doc Antle's strange cult of personality, Tiger King is full of reprehensible big cat enthusiasts, which leads us to wonder, who's the worst? So we decided to try and rank them from worst to, well, slightly less worse?
SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't seen the show, but if you have seen the show, you know how difficult this conversation is. Let us know what you think about it in the comments!

Sunday Dog Jeff lured Joe in with his baby tiger tricks. Then he used Joe’s feud with Carol as the basis for Joe’s demise. Which is why Jeff made sure he recorded most of his encounters with Joe.
