A Tiger Keeper's Take

I really didn't want to have yet another post devoted to Joe Exotic, Tiger King, and that entire freak show.  Thankfully, someone else wrote one.  Besides, at this point it comes down to either gawking at the train-wreck or contemplating the unfolding apocalypse, so the least I can do is alternate between the two.

The following article was written by zookeeper Carolyn Mueller Kelly, describing her feelings about the hit Netflix docuseries.  The words are all hers, but I couldn't agree more.
