Things turn ugly when Carole Baskin, an animal activist, tries to shut down the breeders of big cats. It leads to Exotic’s arrest. Each episode of Tiger King ends on a cliff-hanger so a viewer can rarely quit watching the series after any of the seven episodes ends. Each episode lasts for 45 minutes.

As a viewer, you will be disturbed by the scenes showing animal abuse in Tiger King.

Everyone perpetrates the crime happening, be it the zookeepers, the volunteers and even the paying customers. So, be ready to feel some guilt.
