Joe’s is a ‘pro se’ suit which means he’s representing himself and doesn’t have an attorney. The documents he shared on Facebook say that he’s suing the defendants for, among other things (there’s a list of 14) misleading a grand jury, perjury, the loss of personal property, pain and suffering and the death of Shirley Schreibvogel (Joe’s mother). The statement is long and dense and occasionally slightly crazy but the main gist is that the murder-for-hire plot was a set up, the various government agencies adding “generic Tiger” to the endangered species act list was a conspiracy, and that the death of his mother was a direct result of him being imprisoned (and might even have been a murder at the hands of Lowe). He also takes time to trash talk Carole and mention her husband Don even though that doesn’t seem to be part of his case.
The GW Zoo, rebranded as the Greater Wynnewood Zoo, now owned by Jeff Lowe, is still open.
In Tiger King Lowe talked about moving the Greater Wynnewood Zoo to a new location and renaming it The Oklahoma Zoo (not to be confused with The Oklahoma City Zoo, which issued the statement above).
According to the zoo’s Instagram page it’s due to open this Summer – though whether the COVID-19 pandemic puts a stop to that remains to be seen. The Greater Wynnewood Zoo is still open for now and still offers cub petting (though not with tigers – there’s a liger and a ti-liger listed).
Bhagavan ‘Doc’ Antle’s park was raided, but he’s not been charged
In December 2019 the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division came to Antle’s Myrtle Beach safari. Talking to ABC News, Doc claims they just wanted to enquire about some of his lion cubs who were related to some lions that had come from another zoo that had been closed down for animal cruelty in August 2019.
John Finlay’s got new teeth!
Joe’s ex-husband John has a complete new set of gnashers. You can see pictures he’s posted on fan Facebook page The Truth About John Finlay. In the documentary many of his teeth were missing apparently due to meth abuse. But according to TMZ John claims that even though he had been a meth user in the past, his teeth were missing for genetic reasons and he hasn’t touched meth for six years.
