The Tiger King has decided to let his archnemesis help him get a reduced prison sentence, according to reports.
Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, was sentenced in January 2020 to 22 years in federal prison for violating federal wildlife laws and for his role in a failed murder-for-hire plot targeting his chief rival, Carole Baskin, who runs a rescue sanctuary for big cats in Florida.
Baskin and her husband Howard said they would lend a hand to Maldonado-Passage if he agreed to publicly back a law seeking to end private ownership of big cats, which was passed by the House of Representatives in early December.
