The Zoo from 'Tiger King' Welcomes Attendees in the Hundreds Amid Coronavirus Crisis

BY Allie GregoryPublished May 6, 2020

Joe Exotic's former zoo – now run by Tiger King key players Jeff and Lauren Lowe — has reopened following revised CDC business sanctions amid pandemic concerns, and people are flocking to the site in droves.

In a video obtained by TMZ, zoo attendees are seen in what's now called Tiger King Park in the hundreds, apparently oblivious to physical distancing recommendations.

Likely to the dismay of big cat queen Carole Baskin, cub petting appears to also be in full effect at the former G.W. Exotic Animal Park; Tiger King star Eric Cowie is seen stepping out of a ring of people waiting to handle tiger babies, just like Exotic would've wanted.

According to TMZ, alleged hitman Allen Glover was even in attendance at the reopened park.

The park documented in the wildly popular Netflix series had previously been closed due to ongoing coronavirus concerns.
