Though it is legal to breed and show big cats in the United States with the required permits, Tiger King shed light on shady practices in a lucrative and poorly controlled industry.

LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) All sides in a legal challenge to California’s Proposition 12 laid out their cases during oral arguments in a federal court on Wednesday.
Agriculture groups have argued the state’s law placing animal-welfare restrictions on hog producers who sell pork in the state violates the Commerce Clause by regulating hog producers in other states.
The law requires hog producers to abide by certain regulations in order to sell pork in California. Voters in the state passed Proposition 12 in 2018 with nearly 63% of votes supporting it.
The law forbids the sale of whole pork meat in California from hogs born of sows not housed in conformity with the law. Proposition 12 forbids sows from being confined in such a way that they cannot lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs or turn around without touching the sides of their stalls or other animals.
