'I wouldn't be bragging about Tiger King,” wrote one fan – see how Miranda eventually responded (via toofab)
"Surprised that you would post this considering you love of animals???? Odd!" exclaimed one follower. "I wouldn't be bragging about Tiger King. Have you seen hidden videos of him punching tigers in the face?" asked another, "Shame on anyone who is in his corner."
"Did you know how badly those animals were being treated?" another follower wrote. "I've been a fan of yours for 10+ years, but he killed innocent and healthy tigers."Some time after her initial post, Lambert followed up with some "backstory" for the image. "During Hurricane Harvey, the MuttNation team went to Houston to help relocate existing shelter dogs to free up shelter space for animals separated from their owners," she explained.
"MuttNation asked for volunteers who could transport some dogs from Houston to shelters in Oklahoma, where there was more room and they could be treated and adopted," she wrote. "Some guy named Joe volunteered his trailer and staff. Now I know it's 'Joe Exotic.'" She made sure to let everyone know she had not been to his zoo, had no idea he owned tigers and, "OBVIOUSLY," would never "condone animals being treated badly."
