This is one of your most depressing videos ever

[@dawnbreak3299]

" you're my favorite character" 😂 hes a person

[@SentientTrafficConeMan]

Honestly might be why he walked off like that

[@hollymorefield6216]

I caught that. 😂

[@user-ty3oc5ph5e]

Even sadder is he said "I get that all the time" 😜😆

[@denischabriddell986]

But he is a character. He flipped off the camera. Which tells you he's used to people knowing who he is.

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

They all look so sad, pacing around like that is a really bad sign.

[@davidchynoweth4007]

I know right

[@MellissaWilliamsjewellerylover]

Its really sad, not enough space for these majestic animals. Pacing is a sign of boredom and stress and institutionalised behaviour.

[@RockyNeville88]

I couldn’t really finish this episode solely because you could see boredom and agony. They are not meant to be in cages or a compound. And Jacob kinda made it worse for me just walking around calling them and saying hey buddy can I pet you.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

@@RockyNeville88 I totally agree with you ‼️ there wasn't even in Grass In the enclosures. And The spaces are entirely TOO small. And on top of that,dude is feeding them garbage ‼️ I hope that someone will save them soon.😢🤔🧐🙄.

@@RockyNeville88 Yeah and I thought he was going to pet a tiger. Probably couldn't get his chubby fingers threw the fence.

[@garriswh]

Ugh, this spot is quite depressing. The animals all look miserable. Their enclosures are pitiful and they feed them garbage. I wish they would shut it down and send those poor animals to proper zoos.

[@Jinxness]

Proper zoos don't want them. They are all terribly inbred with health issues. Most of them aren't even one pure subspecies of tiger. There are sanctuaries but tigers are more expensive to feed then to produce so if they take them from places like this without laws to prevent more being born next year its the same issue over and over again.

[@Peter-pv8xx]

Maybe Tippi Hedren will take them.

[@kingofthebeast4024]

[@RhettyforHistory]

How is it that this documentary is the most normal think of 2020? I saw this at the beginning of the pandemic as well. Each episode kept getting crazier and crazier. Being in Oklahoma we already knew how crazy Joe was. His campaigns were entertaining!

@@meliciahines1822 I DO KNOW what I am talking about. I know a zoo owner personally! And several zoo employees! I know what it takes to run a zoo! So how about don't assume!

The place on the video is run by volunteers who are as dumb as a doornails NOT repeat NOT qualified college graduates in zoology or trained in husbandry on how to take care of wild animals! The place as had many staff employees hurt. Place is NOT licensed by the state, it's NOT regulated, not inspected and has No certifications. Like ZAA, AZA. Shall I go on? It's horrible and needs to be SHUT down! Again don't assume.

[@vickihale9985]

That place isn't fit for animals, they pace because they have no room to run and play, they're bored and agitated... Love you though jacob lol

[@Nasuto1702]

As someone who has worked at a bunch of zoo's and actually studied management for care wildlife I can honestly tell you that Those animals look horrible. The habitats are terrible the animals look everything except for happy and healthy. They should shut that down shit down immediatly

[@jessicapacholski3945]

This is very disturbing. The animal abuse. They look sad & miserable.

[@glamma77]

Unfortunately the animals are just going to another location with the same level of care, but hopefully they’ll at least have more room to roam🤷🏻‍♀️ we’ll see!

[@katgirl476]

I could only get through one episode of "tiger king." The story is interesting but the animal abuses were heartbreaking to me. No human or animal should ever be treated this way. Those poor kitties and monkeys.

This really broke my heart, I don't like visiting regular zoos either though but I used to take my daughter. Wild animals should be free. These poor creatures all looked so miserable and the cages were so small...I wish with all of the money that the netflix series made that a wildlife rescue would come in to save ALL of these beautiful animals❤thanks for sharing your video.

THOSE ANIMALS LOOK SO SKINNY AND NEGLECTED. THE ENCLOSURES ARE TOO SMALL. THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE ANIMALS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM!

[@marybufordAUTHOR]

You could check out the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue, which houses big cats rescued from zoos who can no longer care for them. It's like a retirement for cats who are unable to care for themselves in the wild. Wanted to pass along the suggestion. I've not seen the documentary about Tiger King. Nice video, Jacob. :)

[@Snakesnarl]

Dear god

[@greeneyedlady7290]

Jacob, I recommend you visit the Center for Animal Research & Education (CARE) In Bridgeport, north Texas. They have 27 tigers, 4 lions, and about 20 other animals. CARE is sanctuary. Most of the animals are former exotic pets, or have been re-homed from other sanctuaries which were forced to close. You can stand about 4 feet from the fences, and you can take all the photos and videos you want. Right now CARE is closed due to Covid, but it’s definitely worth putting on your to-do list!

[@laurenp.7607]

Went to T.I.G.E.R.S. in Myrtle Beach for a entire day, before the documentary came out, for my 30th birthday with my parents. You are correct about not allowing photos or cameras inside. They do film and take photos of your entire day and sell at the end of your visit (I believe we got over 300 pics and videos throughout the visit, I don't remember for how much, each package is a different price). The animals looked to be taken care of very well in a beautiful world class setting (at least all of the areas they let us see) and they seemed to watch everyone interacting with their animals like a hawk. Overlooking all of the now known controversy...It was a ONCE in a lifetime experience that we will never forget!!

[@jaguars08221]

I feel bad for the animals.

[@DragonRoams]

The size and state of most of the enclosures are sad. The animals give the impression of not being happy. I'm not against places that can house animals properly but bad vibes from this place.

[@cynthiawheaton3928]

I believe 5 or 7 of these big cats, including white tigers and a liliger were rescued to The Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota. A truly wonderful sanctuary for the rest of their lives. Check it out. They will never be exploited again.

[@kristijagler2778]

The place should be shut down! Pure cruelty!

[@valligoodwin967]

The enclosures, here, are even smaller than zoos have. How sad. 😔

[@DNAreeper]

If u like wild and different documents u should check out "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia". It was filmed about an hour from me and well.....its different!

[@AH-rl9ev]

[@shareenmeah5809]

Those animals were bored that's why they were pacing their small cages

[@Rmissjen9]

Shareen Meah No. these animals are stressed and pacing is a coping mechanism. They don’t have a large enough area to roam. Very sad to watch.

[@shareenmeah5809]

Bored, stressed whatever. But its clear they aren't happy. If they had a very very large outdoor area run and play and spacious cages they would be somewhat happier. I like zoos if the animals are looked after properly and suitable housing cause they can be quite educational for children and adults alike

[@Sunshine_Daydream222]

Zoos should be illegal. Why are they being treated as prisoners?

[@mothman-6284]

Sunny Deise not all zoos are like this and many treat their animals amazingly 😊

Sunny Deise Some zoos are trying to regrow populations of endangered species, and while this particular zoo is absolutely terrible, some are actually trying to help the animals they house.
