If you watched the popular Netflix series “Tiger King,” you might be wondering, what ever happened to Joe Exotic? Well, he isn’t enjoying a happy ending in prison.

Here’s the more important question: What ever happened to those dozens of tigers and other animals?

Fortunately, those beautiful creatures have a happy ending thanks to a man named Pat Craig, who runs The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado and Texas. Previously mistreated and undernourished, they are now running wild and free over 33,000 acres, happy and healthy.
