The U.S. House passed a bill that prohibits people from owning big cats like lions and tigers, after Netflix released the documentary series "Tiger King."

The chamber voted 272-114 to pass the measure, which also makes it illegal for exhibitors to allow people to touch cubs, late Thursday.

The bill appears in the documentary and was backed by Carole Baskin, the nemesis of the show's star Joe Exotic, and her husband Howard Baskin.

On the same day that the bill passed, a volunteer was injured at Baskin's Big Cat Rescue after being attacked by a tiger.

Baskin told The Hill in an email that the volunteer saw a door leading to the tiger was "clipped shut" which is the rescue's signal "NOT to open a gate without the coordinator coming to assist."

She said that the volunteer "said she just wasn't thinking when she reached in to un clip it" and that the tiger "grabbed her arm and nearly tore it off at the shoulder."

"The fact that, despite our intense safety protocols and excellent record of safety, an injury like this can occur just confirms the inherent danger in dealing with these animals and why we need the Big Cat Public Safety Act to eliminate having them untracked in backyards around the country and ending up in sanctuaries," Baskin added.

The news comes after the Department of Justice in November filed a complaint against Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park and Tiger King LLC, alleging that the businesses had violated the Endangered Species Act and the Animal Welfare Act.

Anyone watch Part 2 yet? Am I missing anything?

Started it, but was too annoying. Nothing but dirtbags.

i finished the last episode last night. I enjoyed it.

It was much more serious than the first season.

It was like watching a really really good Dateline NBC episode.

Lots of new information and potential litigation that they didnt cover in the first.


Worth watching to get to the 4th/5th episode to see the new twists/info.

I assume this explains Carol suing Netflix? I'm guessing she doesn't come off to well in season 2?

I don't know if she did it or not but the hubby was dealing with some cartel/underworld shady shit. Maybe he got on the wrong side of one of those people? Plus the 50+ year old was taking advantage of his wealth to **** poor 14-15 year old Puerto Rican girls. i
