Is anyone else watching this on Netflix? Holy god.
As someone who works in rescue, I felt like I had to even though I was pretty sure it’d make me mad. Parts did. But other parts were so incredibly out there I had to rewatch to make sure I was understanding what I was watching.
This one has it all, even stuff you didn’t know you wanted: thinly-veiled polygamist cults, platinum blonde mullets, sparkly blazers, the feds, murder for hire plots, failed presidential/gubernatorial campaigns, suspicious fires, the guy who reportedly inspired “Scarface,” and a husband who disappeared under very suspicious circumstances. So if any of that interests you, give it a watch.
But be warned: while there are no outright acts of animal cruelty portrayed, there are images of dead animals pulled from news sites. Also, some animals are seen in conditions and situations that, while not abusive, are not ideal.
Also: there’s a pretty gruesome scene that catches the aftermath of a tiger mauling and while the injury is blurred, it’s still clear what happened. And lastly, there is footage of a man’s reaction caught on CCTV after a park employee accidentally shoots himself which, while not inherently gruesome, is chilling.
It’s. Just. Bonkers. Not in the “These people are so wacky” way, but the “I can’t believe this is actually happening” way.
