Animal rights activists have been pushing for decades to curb big cat ownership in this country, arguing that the industry is cruel, dangerous, and detrimental to conservation of cats in the wild. Now, reform appears within reach. The movement owes its momentum to, of all things, a murder-for-hire plot gone terribly awry You might have seen the headlines in the Washington Post and New York magazine: Joe Exotic, a self-described ?gay, gun-carrying redneck with a mullet,? among the largest tiger owners and breeders in the U.S., charged with conspiring to commit murder for hire. At its height, Joe's zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, which is where I visited Nova, housed more than 200 big cats, including lion-tiger hybrids, as well as about 60 other species, everything from lemurs to owls to giraffes. Joe even acquired a pair of alligators he claimed were once owned by Michael Jackson. Still, as one local told me, ?The animals weren't the entertainment. Joe was the entertainment.?
Last year, an Oklahoma City jury convicted Joe, whose legal name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, of the murder-for-hire plots against a Florida activist and sanctuary owner named Carole Baskin. For Joe, Baskin had become something of an arch tiger rival. The news coverage mostly focused on Joe's outlandish personality and the details of his decade-long feud with Baskin. But the jury also found Joe guilty of 17 wildlife crimes, including illegally killing five tigers and trafficking tigers across state lines ? marking the first significant conviction of a tiger criminal in an American courtroom. ?This verdict sends a shot across the bow to other roadside zoos who are playing fast and loose with federal regulations,? said Carney Anne Nasser, director of the animal welfare clinic at Michigan State University College of Law.
In other words, the bad boy of the big cat world might have inadvertently contributed to cleaning up the dirty industry he helped build and then exploited for much of his adult life.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Outbreak mode has got its rotting teeth into me good and proper. The mode subverts the usual Zombies rules by putting you in an open space and letting your operator roam free. In a weird way, it's like the very best junk food; a giddy and excessive blowout that shouldn't be as cathartic as it actually is.
Who am I? I first started writing about games for this very website way back in 2013 as a freelancer fresh out of uni, before joining Official PlayStation Magazine UK in 2015 as a Staff Writer and unofficial FIFA expert (despite being notoriously bad at it). I even once convinced my editor to let me write a piece on 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand, which still has one of the best openings in games. I left the magazine in 2018 to join a digital agency that produces content (sorry) for places like GAME UK's social channels, before heading back to where it began at GR+.
What do I do on GamesRadar+? I'm the UK News Editor, which sees me writing news and features for GR+. I also repeatedly moan about getting beat at FIFA.
