In June, the sheriff declared that thewill of Don Lewis was forged. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister alleged to reporters that two different experts have deemed Lewis' will “100 percent a forgery,” but that the statute of limitations for forgery had already expired.
Despite being enemies, both Baskin and Exotic had issues with Lowe, which will be further explored in the upcoming season.
TheU.S. Department of Justicelater said in a press release that “68 protected lions, tigers, lion-tiger hybrids, and a jaguar” were seized during a raid.
Since December 2020, officials have conducted three inspections of Lowe’s Tiger King Park, during which his family “received citations for failing to provide the animals with adequate or timely veterinary care, appropriate nutrition, and shelter that protects them from inclement weather and is of sufficient size to allow them to engage in normal behavior,” the Justice Department said.
