Tiger King Joe Exotic has shared a heartfelt tribute on social media to one of his colleagues who was tragically mauled by a large cat at his Oklahoma preserve this week.
Ryan Easley 37, sadly lost his life on Saturday after being attacked by a tiger at his Growler Pines Tiger Preserve, as stated in a Facebook post. TMZ reports that Easley suffered bites to the neck and shoulder area from the tiger before being violently shaken.
Since the horrifying incident, the tiger has been confined to a single cage and will not be permitted to leave until an investigation into the attack is completed.
Following the tragic event, the social media star, who gained national fame through the Netflix documentary Tiger King, expressed his sorrow over Easleys death, while urging authorities not to impose stricter regulations on the preserves.
First of all I would like to send my prayers to Ryan Easleys family for their loss, the animal caretaker posted on X on Monday, reports the Mirror US.
I have known Ryan for many years, continued Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado Passage.
No one can blame the tiger for what happened. We all take risks in what we do and we dont need further laws to ban tigers because of this because you can get killed doing just about anything
