{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Baskin and Exotic became pop-culture sensations after the Netflix true-crime documentary "Tiger King" premiered in March. It told the story of big cat zookeeper Exotic (real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage) and his feud with Baskin over the care and treatment of his wild animals.

The feud grew so intense Exotic hired an undercover FBI agent to kill Baskin. He is currently serving 22 years in prison for his role in a failed murder-for-hire plot, falsifying wildlife records, and killing endangered animals.
