‘Tiger King’ just released a follow-up eighth episode. Even if this show were 37 episodes long, it couldn’t possibly cover all the cruel things Joe Exotic has done to animals.

A new Virginia law will make public contact with some dangerous wild animals held in captivity illegal. This means an end to cruel cub-petting encounters in the Commonwealth!

Before Joe Exotic fled G.W. Zoo, PETA was able to get 39 tigers and other animals away from the “Tiger King” and into reputable sanctuaries, where they’re all thriving.

Dade City’s Wild Things, which has long been on PETA’s radar, is reported to have closed its doors after the last tigers held there were sent to an accredited sanctuary in Colorado.

PETA sent letters to actor Kate McKinnon and Universal Content Productions, urging them not to use real tigers in “Joe vs. Carole.” They listened.

Brittany Peet, the PETA Foundation’s director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement, speaks to Emil Guillermo about “Joe Exotic,” who was one of the most infamous big-cat traffickers and abusers in the country before being imprisoned for murder-for-hire and wildlife crimes.

Netflix’s “Tiger King” introduced the world to Joe Exotic and other big-cat exploiters, but what about the big cats themselves? Here’s why tiger cub “encounters” are never OK.

To help Americans cope with fear and anxiety over COVID-19, PETA is offering something to smile about: Fewer animals are being abused for entertainment.

PETA has long called on the Pittsburgh Zoo to end its problematic elephant program. The facility’s latest stunt only strengthens our resolve.

Because a group of lions who were being held captive for human entertainment mauled a woman who entered the enclosure, they may now be killed.

After losing a court case to PETA this week, the hits keep on coming for infamous animal exploiter Tim Stark.
