‘TIGER KING’ STAR SAYS AMERICA’S UNREGULATED ZOOS COULD
BE PUTTING THOUSANDS OF TIGERS AT RISK OF COVID-19
BY ROSIE MCCALL ON 5/5/20 AT 7:44 AM EDT
Saff Saffery from Netflix’s hit documentary miniseries Tiger King has warned that thousands
of tigers kept in unregulated zoos and sanctuaries could be vulnerable to COVID-19, after tests last
month confirmed big cats are susceptible to infection. Saffrey, told NBC many of these institutions
are unable to protect the cats in their care, making an outbreak of the disease a constant possibility.

“Unless there is a licensed staff of veterinarians to individually care for these animals at proper
protocol levels, it’s impossible to prevent,” said Saffery, who lost his arm in a tiger attack while
working at Joseph Maldonado-Passage’s (a.k.a. Joe Exotic) Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal
Park.
“The livelihood of these animals is in the hands of the humans who care for them,” he added.
“So because it’s a give-and-take relationship, they need to operate together. These zoos have no
choice but to go out and tend to these animals directly, one on one, every day.”
…
The vulnerability of tigers to COVID-19 first became apparent in April after a 4-year-old Malayan
tiger who started to display symptoms in late March tested positive for the disease. According to
the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Nadia of the Bronx Zoo appears to have been
the first tiger infected with SARS-CoV-2. Zoo officials believe she contracted the disease from an
asymptomatic member of staff who was yet to display signs of the illness themselves.
Several other exotic cats housed in the zoo, including three tigers and three lions, also
developed symptoms, such as a dry cough and loss of appetite. An update released on April
22 revealed that they too had tested positive for the disease, as did a fifth tiger who did not
show symptoms.

O texto anterior, da revista americana Newsweek faz uma citação da série Tiger King: Murder,
Mayhem and Madness (“A Máfia dos Tigres”, na versão em português), que está a caminho de desbancar
a série Stranger Things como o maior sucesso da plataforma Netflix.Veja o que a BBC, canal britânico
de notícias, diz a respeito da série.
Netflix’s Tiger King has been one of the runaway hits of lockdown TV — and its success has
unsurprisingly led to a rush to make spin-offs and adaptations.
The Netflix series tells the astonishing story of the larger-than-life Oklahoma zoo owner
Joe Exotic and his rivalry with animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
…
As well as the dramatic adaptations, there has been speculation about a second Netflix season
— but no announcement yet.
The first was such a phenomenon — with 64 million people watching at least some of it in its
first month — that it’s hard to imagine they won’t find a way to bring it back.
…
Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic is described as “the definitive true crime series”
and will delve into his rivalry with Baskin.
