Content Warning: Animal abuse
This week on Get Out Alive, we cover a tragic day in October of 2011 that led to the death of over 40 exotic animals in Zanesville, Ohio, that had been kept in terrible conditions. This case led to Ohio
changing its laws around exotic animal ownership, and sparked a countrywide debate about owning exotic animals, that was of course later blown up by Netflix's
Tiger King in 2020.
If you'd like to know more about how USDA APHIS Animal Care inspects and regulates these facilities, you can check out their
Inspection Guide or
Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Regulations. You can also file an animal welfare complaint
here.
Stay tuned for when we do an extended series on exotic animal ownership and social media.
