HE WORE SPURS ON HIS BOOTS, EVEN WHEN SHOPPG FOR GROCERI. ONE DAY, WHEN VISG FAY, HE WORE THEM ON THE WRONG SHO.THAT YEAR JOE MET BRIAN RHYNE, A SMOLOGY STUNT AT UT DALLAS, AND FELL EPLY LOVE. SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WAS S AWAY, BUT JOE AND BRIAN SOON WED ANYWAY, AN UNOFFICIAL CEREMONY. IN 1989 THEY BOUGHT A PET STORE LLED PET SAFARI, ARLGTON, WH G.W., WH WHOM JOE SHARED A LOVE OF ANIMALS. “HE’S A GODDAMN, WHAT DO YOU LL , A CHARL MANSON.”— YARRI, JOE EXOTIC’S BROTHER BRIAN WAS MORE RERVED THAN JOE, AND KEPT HIS HBAND’S HOT-HEADNS CHECK. GAROLD DUMPSTER-DOVE FOR PET SAFARI’S MATERIALS AND WELD G. BRIAN KEPT THE BOOKS, AND JOE WAS THE STORE’S ENIGMATIC, GUN-TOTG FACE. HE WAS A SMOOTH TALKER, AND A GREAT SALMAN.

THE PARK BEGAN TO FILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. OWNERS DROPPED LNS, TIGERS, MONKEYS, BIRDS, AND OTHER RARE CREATUR AT S GAT. BRIAN LOOKED AFTER THE FANC, AS HE HAD DONE TEXAS.

A GRAND JURY NVENED BUT REFED TO DICT JOE AND HIS ASSOCIATE, AND THE MEN WALKED EE. JOE SUED THE SPCA OF TEXAS, AN ANIMAL WELFARE GROUP, FOR RELEASG A VIO OF THE CINT THAT HE CLAIMED HURT SAL AT SUPER PET. ADVERTISEMENT FRH OM JOE’S EMU-KILLG EXPLOS, THE G.W. PARK EXPAND RAPIDLY. JOE SOLD SUPER PET, AND PLOWED S PROCEEDS TO WYNNEWOOD. HE WAS AN EXPERT SPEAKER, AND THRILLED CROWDS DURG UN-PC, CURSE-LAN TOURS OF THE PARK. “THIS A’T SEAWORLD,” HE LIKED TO SAY, WH A CHEEKY GR. HIS FATHER FRANCIS HELPED DIG PONDS AND FENC, AND HIS MOTHER SHIRLEY DID THE SHOPPG. BRIAN BALANCED THE BOOKS. HE AND JOE DIDN’T KISS ONT OF FRANCIS AND SHIRLEY. INSTEAD THEY’D GENTLY BSH PAST EACH OTHER’S ARMS. JOE’S RELATNSHIP WH WYNNEWOOD BEGAN WELL, TOO. HE SAT ON THE LOL CHAMBER OF MERCE AND VOLUNTEERED AS AN EMT. SOMETIM HE SNUCK TIGER CUBS TO THE LOL HOSPAL TO ENTERTA PATIENTS. BY 2001, JOE HAD 89 BIG TS AND 1,100 OTHER EXOTICS, AND THE PARK DREW HEALTHY CROWDS. BUT BRIAN’S HEALTH WORSENED. HIS WEIGHT PLUMMETED. A HOSPICE NURSE ME BY EACH DAY, AND JOE BEME BRIAN’S PRIMARY RER. BY MID-DECEMBER, BRIAN WAS SKELETAL, AND ULDN’T SPEAK. HE DIED FOUR DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.JOE HELD A FUNERAL AT THE ZOO AND NAMED S ALLIGATOR NURSERY AS BRIAN’S MEMORIAL. HE WAS RELIEVED THE PA WAS OVER. BUT HAVG LOST GAROLD FOUR YEARS EARLIER, HE TOLD ME, “YOU TEND TO WONR WHAT THE HELL YOU DID WRONG.” HE THOUGHT THE WORLD HAD TURNED AGAST HIM. “WHEN BRIAN DIED, THAT’S WHEN [JOE’S] WHOLE MEANOR OF EVERYTHG CHANGED,” CHEALSI PUTNAM, JOE’S NIECE, TOLD ME. “SOMETHG JT ME OVER HIM AND HE WAS NEVER THE SAME AGA… AS FAR AS THE WAY HE EVEN DID BS.”WH A YEAR, JOE HOOKED UP WH A HARD-DRKG, DG-G 24-YEAR-OLD EVENTS PRODUCER NAMED JEFEY CHARL “J.C.” HARTPENCE. JOE ED J.C.’S EQUIPMENT TO TAKE HIS ANIMAL SHOW ON THE ROAD. INSPIRED BY DAVID COPPERFIELD, HE DONNED SEQUED WBOY SHIRTS AND TOURED AS AN “ILLNIST” AT MALLS AND FAIRS ACROSS THE UNTRY. KIDS ULD PET TIGER CUBS FOR A FEE. THEY “MONKEY PROMISED”—ON AN ACTUAL MONKEY’S PKY FGER—THAT THEY’D STEER CLEAR OF ALHOL AND DGS, A LSON TO WHICH JOE FOLD HIS FAKE STORY ABOUT GAROLD’S DNK DRIVER. HE CLAIMED ABSTENCE HIMSELF, AND TOYED WH SEVERAL STAGE NAM BEFORE SETTLG ON “JOE EXOTIC,” TRAVELG THE MIDWT A TCK LOAD WH BABY ANIMALS.

ADVERTISEMENT “HE WOULD BREED ANYTHG HE ULD GET HIS HANDS ON.”— JAM GARRETSON, EARLY IEND OF JOE EXOTIC JOE WAS ALSO GETTG RICH, AND BEG A LOL CELEBRY. IN AUGT 2001 HE RCUED THREE EMACIATED BEARS SEIZED OM A RSIAN CIRC TRAER. THE OKLAHOMAN PROMPTED REARS TO DONATE $17,400 TOWARD THE BEARS’ UPKEEP. IT ENURAGED JOE TO REACH OUT FOR MORE DONATNS, AND ASK VISORS TO SPONSOR ANIMALS. SOON THE PARK WAS FTOONED WH MEMORIAL PLAQU AND POSTERS BEGGG FOR SH. BEG A TIGER KG RAKED SER ROYALTI. SOME QUTNED WHERE THE MONEY WENT.“IT WAS LIKE A N AL OM THE START,” YARRI TOLD ME. “I THK HE STARTED RIGHT THEN, LIKE, ‘DU, THIS IS EASY. I N EAT RED LOBSTER EVERY DAMN DAY, TWICE A DAY, AND SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA PAY FOR .’”JOE BOOSTED PROFS BY BREEDG AND TRADG EXOTICS. HE ALLOWED CTOMERS TO PET BIG-T AND BEAR CUBS FOR A FEE. “EVERYONE KNEW HIM AS THE PERSON TO BUY AND SELL ANIMALS,” JAM GARRETSON, AN EARLY IEND OF JOE’S, TOLD ME. “HE WOULD BREED ANYTHG HE ULD GET HIS HANDS ON.”JOE BEME APT AT BREEDG HYBRID BIG TS AT WYNNEWOOD, SUCH AS LIGERS (THE OFFSPRG OF A MALE LN AND FEMALE TIGER), LILIGERS (SEND-GENERATN MALE LN AND LIGRS OFFSPRG) OR TILIGERS (SEND-GEN MALE TIGER, LIGRS FEMALE)–ANIMALS THAT DO NOT EXIST THE WILD. (THERE ARE MORE TIGERS AMERIN BACKYARDS THAN THE WILD ANYWHERE ON EARTH, AND WILDLIFE TRAFFICKG IS A $19 BILLN DTRY.) HYBRIDS ULD FETCH MANY TIM MORE AT SALE THAN A REGULAR T. ACRDG TO FORMER CREW MEMBERS, JOE MA BETWEEN $1,500 AND $10,000 FOR HYBRID CUBS, WHICH MANY EXPERTS SAY ARE ELS TO THE GEIC DIVERSY OF BIG TS WORLDWI (MANY HAVE BRED BIRTH FECTS). JOE VIEWED HIMSELF AS A CREATOR OF CREATUR; A MIGOD. HE EVEN TOLD IENDS HE WANTED TO RETRODUCE THE SABER-TOOTHED TIGER TO AMERI, AN ANIMAL UNRELATED TO MORN TS, WHICH DIED OUT AROUND 10,000 YEARS AGO.“HE’S THE SPOKE AT THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL,” BRTANY PEET, A UNSEL AT PETA, TOLD ME. “THERE ARE OTHERS WHO BREED, BUT HE’S THE PRIMARY ONE.” ADVERTISEMENT JOE RELIED ON A PORO REGULATORY SYSTEM THAT STILL DO LTLE TO PROTECT EXOTIC ANIMALS THE UNED STAT.

THE TERM IS NTTED, BUT THEY’RE GENERALLY PRIVATE AND UNREGULATED, WH LTLE OR NO REARCH FUNCTN. THEIR NDNS ARE POOR EVEN TO UNTRAED EY.AMONG THE MANY ROADSI ZOOS I VISED REPORTG THIS STORY, JOE’S OLD PARK WAS THE WORST. WHEN I WENT, HAD RAED, AND TIGERS SLOSHED BACK AND FORTH ANKLE-EP SLURRY. A MAN-MA LAKE WAS NEON GREEN AND STAGNANT. A BROWN BEAR SAT S OWN FEC WHILE A MAN FED POTATO CHIPS. TENPS WERE STTERED ABOUT THE G AND ONE MONKEY ENCLOSURE FEATURED A CHILD’S KCHEN PLAY SET.THE G.W. PARK IS ONE OF AROUND 80 U.S. FACILI THAT ALLOW CUB-PETTG. ACRDG TO USDA REGULATNS, CUBS MAY ONLY BE HANDLED FOR A MONTH-LONG PERD BETWEEN EIGHT AND 12 WEEKS OLD. AT MANY PARKS, CUBS ARE GED, SOLD, OR SHOT WHEN THEY “TIME OUT.” JOE FOUND MOST OF HIS STAFF THROUGH CRAIGSLIST. IN 2003, A STOCKY 19-YEAR-OLD NAMED JOHN FLAY ANSWERED AN AD. HE’D GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL DAVIS, NEAR WYNNEWOOD, AND WANTED TO BE A RPENTER. BUT JOBS WERE SRCE, AND HE DIDN’T HATE WHEN, ONE DAY AFTER APPLYG, JOE HIRED HIM. AT FIRST JOHN MUCKED OUT G AND RRIED OUT OTHER MENIAL TASKS WH HIS MISF LLEAGU. BUT THE TIGERS ENCHANTED HIM. ADVERTISEMENT JOHN ALSO THOUGHT HIS NEW BOSS WAS OL. JOE LOOKED OFF-THE-WALL, LIKE A IC BOOK’S GUNSLGER AND UNLIKE ANYBODY JOHN HAD MET OKLAHOMA, OR TEXAS, WHERE HE WAS BORN. JOE’S TREATMENT OF STAFF ULD BE CEL BORRG ON VDICTIVE—BUT JOHN LOVED THE ANIMALS. JOE TOOK JOHN TO TRAVELG SHOWS KANSAS. THE LONG TRIPS GAVE THEM PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.JOHN LIVED WH A GIRLIEND PLS VALLEY, NEAR THE PARK. ONE NIGHT, A MONTH AFTER JOHN BEGAN WORK AT WYNNEWOOD, HE SENT JOE A TEXT MSAGE: “COME SAVE ME.” WHEN JOE ARRIVED, JOHN’S GIRLIEND WAS THROWG HIS BELONGGS OUT ONTO THE STREET. JOE DROVE JOHN TO THE PARK. HE WOULDN’T LEAVE FOR YEARS. JOE’S RELATNSHIP WH J.C. HAD ALREADY CMBLED. THE FAL STRAW ARRIVED WHEN J.C., DNK, HELD A GUN TO JOE’S HEAD THEIR BEDROOM, JOE SAID. POLICE RTED J.C. AWAY, NEVER TO RETURN. (HE IS SERVG A PRISON TERM KANSAS FOR MURR AND CHILD MOLTATN.)JOHN CUT HIMSELF AND SUFFERED SLEEPLS NIGHTS, AND OFTEN LAY BED UNTIL MID-AFTERNOON. HE AND JOE BEGAN A ROMANTIC RELATNSHIP. THEY DID ALMOST EVERYTHG TOGETHER, AS JOE HAD WH BRIAN, AND EXCHANGED LOVG MSAG BY PHONE. “I LOVE THAT KID SO MUCH,” JOE TOLD ME RECENTLY.

RIGHTS GROUPS LLED THE HOTEL A ROADSI ZOO. IN 1997, LEWIS, THEN 60, DISAPPEARED WHOUT A TRACE. HIS CHILDREN SUGGTED CAROLE MAY EVEN HAVE FED HIM TO THE TIGERS.
