Carole Baskin isn't the only person he said he'd put a bullet in tigerking (via toofab)
Carole Baskin isn't the only person he said he'd put a bullet in." certainly made him a worldwide star -- but it wasn't Joe Exotic's first documentary appearance.
A clip from a 2011 series hosted by Louis Theroux has resurfaced online, in which the zoo owner jokes about shooting Justin Theroux's cousin in the head in a mercy killing should he get attacked by one of his lions. Theroux, a celebrated journalist and documentary filmmaker, interviewed Joseph Maldonado-Passage for his show "Louis Theroux: America's Most Dangerous Pets", in which he toured the now infamous G.W. Zoo."If he was to get you, he would not kill you and eat you right away," Joe tells Louis in the clip. "He's going to torment you. If you were to get in there and I was out here trying to get you out, he would be on top of you covering you up because you're his.
"If I ever got attacked by a lion like that, shoot me please. That would go on for hours. Unless you shot the lion..." Interestingly, as many of the federal charges against him relate to animal cruelty for shooting five of his tigers, Joe shoots both himself and Theroux before the lion in his hypothetical.
