Target: Jean Williams, Acting Assistant Attorney General of Department of Justice Environment & Natural Resources Division
Goal: Seek full punishment for couple accused of trafficking and abusing nearly 100 captive animals.
The private zoo at the center of the Netflix series Tiger King may have come under new leadership after its owner’s incarceration, but the controversy remained. The new man in charge, Jeffrey Lowe, had previously vowed to close the notorious facility because of public pressure. Instead, he seemingly kept the exploitation and abuse that allegedly took place during his predecessor’s reign going strong. Now, he and his wife face potential animal trafficking charges after dozens of wild cats were seized from the property.
The Justice Department reportedly began an investigation into the couple and the zoo’s activities several months ago. Recently, that investigation yielded a 50-page affidavit that claimed 46 tigers, 15 hybrids of lions and tigers, and several lions and jaguars were illegally purchased, sold, and transported by the couple. The legal document also cites evidence of continued abuse and harassment of the animals. An assistant attorney general at the department said of the case: “this seizure should send a clear message that the justice department takes alleged harm to captive-bred animals protected under the Endangered Species Act very seriously.”
Sign the petition below to demand the justice department follow through on its assertion and prosecute this troubling case to the fullest extent.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Assistant Attorney General Williams,
Your division claimed that the seizures of potentially trafficked wildlife from the zoo of Jeffrey and Lauren Lowe demonstrated a commitment to enforcement of the Endangered Species Act. These individuals, if they are indeed guilty of the charges leveled against them, can and should face significant punishment for their alleged broad-scale exploitation of these animals. Please make your actions match your words.
No one should profit from the pain and suffering of another living being. Protect the world’s wildlife, and ensure the maximum federal charges are pursued in this disturbing case.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Punish him to death!!!!execution style!!!
I agree 100% with you Kay
I also agree with Kay’s comment.
“Punish him and his evil wife to death. execution style”
Eradication from our planet is a must!!!!!!!!
IMMEDIATELY SEIZE ALL REMAINING ANIMALS AT THIS FACILITY! They are clearly in danger, and not being properly cared for. PROSECUTE those responsible to the fullest extent of the law for multiple counts of egregious animal abuse and cruelty. BAN them from ever purchasing, owning, caring for or working with any animals ever again.
TO : Jean Williams, Acting Assistant Attorney General of Department of Justice Environment & Natural Resources Division
In my opinion, it’s a waste of time that all concerned with these atrocious crimes be signing and signing over and over, without ever knowing how these crimes were handled, how the guilty were sentenced, what steps were or have been taken to severely punish the guilty, and if a harsh law was enacted, to stop the culprits from further abusing innocent animals.
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT — WE SHOULD BE INFORMED HOW CASES WERE HANDLED OR AT LEAST BE TOLD OF WHAT THE PUNISHMENT – NO EXCUSES – WILL BE FOR ALL GUILTY OF ABUSING ALL KINDS OF DEFENSELESS ANIMALS BE THEY SMALL OR BIG – AFTER ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING INFLICTED TO THEM IS THE SAME FOR ALL SIZES.
You can follow information about court actions for the Lowe’s on Facebook at Wynnewood Information Sharing.
I also encourage following another page called Roadside Zoo News.
These two lowlife animal torturing monster bastards Jeffrey and Lauren Lowe must be brought to Justice and jailed for life for their deliberate broad-scale exploitation of such precious and innocent wildlife.The new monster in charge, vile and evil Jeffrey Lowe, had previously vowed to close the notorious facility because of public pressure. Instead, this vile and evil psychopathic monster seemingly kept the exploitation and abuse that was deliberately tacking place during his predecessor’s reign going strong. Now, this monster and his monster wife will face potential animal trafficking charges after dozens of wild innocent cats were seized from the property.BAN these two monsters from ever purchasing, owning, caring for or working with any animals ever again.Make sure they are jailed for life.Get rid of these two monsters from the planet.
DISGUSTING!! I never could understand why Tiger King show had no outrage about it.
These gorgeous big cats need to be placed in a safe sanctuary!!! These CRUEL & ABUSIVE OWNERS SHOULD RECIEVE THE EXACT TORTURIOUS ABUSIVE AS THEIR INNOCENT GORGEOUS BIG CATS HAVE/DO IMMEDIATELY!!! These CRUEL & ABUSIVE OWNERS should NEVER be alliwed to OWN, ADOPT, AND BE NEAR ANOTHER INNOCENT ANIMALS FOR THE REST OF THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!!!!! PUT THESE CRUEL IDIOTS INTO A SMALL CAGE TOGETHER AND SERVE THEM ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD AND WATER AND PUT THEIR CAGE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT TOO!!!!
All the big cats and cubs were removed as part of violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Other animals that did not fall into those protections ie wolves, fox a camel remain on property and have been seriously neglected.
They too need rescuing and the Lowe’s need to be charged and never own another Animal again.
There is a court order in place, I believe they are still being fined $1000/day. The shame of it all is the animals needless suffering.
First thing is to get people to stop watching ALL those shows that exploit animals. NOW he and his workers should be punished with at least 10 years in prison with no parole. We need laws to punish people for the brutality, torture and death of animals
animal laws should be much stronger abuse is horrible get these monsters good jail and fines
I agree with everything which has been said but surely it shouldn’t need petition after petition to get these 2 bastards closed down and serving long prison sentences but that takes guts from the judge – lets hope someone has the balls to do the right thing and rescue these WILD AND IN SOME CASES ENDANGERED CATS! NOBODY SHOULD PROFIT FROM EXPLOITING ANY ANIMAL
Are these petitions worth signing I never hear of the outcome of these horrible stories. Do these inhumane scumbags ever get any jail time I would like to know of the outcome too!
Prosecute these vile subhumans to the fullest extent of the law AND I MEAN FOREVER IMPRISONED FOR THE REST OF THEIR DISGUSTING LIVES NEVER TO BE FREE TO HARM ANOTHER ANIMAL EVER AGAIN!
WE HAVE ANIMAL LAWS NOT ENOUGH NOT HARSH ENOUGH PENALTIES FOR SURE BUT ITS LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUDGES THAT WILL NOT TAKE THESE EGREGIOUS CRIMES AGAINST ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY ARE ANIMALS FORGETTING WE TOO ARE ANIMALS!!! THATS THE REAL ISSUE!
this is a disgrace that our government would allow this type of treatment to animals that have no choice in where they live or how they are kept.
These people need to be charged to the fullest extent of the law and buried under a jail
OUR POOR LAWS ARE BEYOND DISGUSTING. THAT IS WHY THESE BASTARDS DO WHAT THEY LIKE TO THESE MONEY MAKING ANIMALS. I ONLY WISH SOMEONE WILL EQUAL OUT THE HORRENDOUS ACTS THEY HAVE DONE TO THESE MAJESTIC CATS. I WONDER HOW GOOD THESE PRICKS WOULD
T A S T E TO THESE CATS?? YES??? I WOULD BE PLEASED WITH THAT OUTCOME, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, OUR LAWS S U C K WHEN IT COMES TO OUR PRECIOUS ANIMALS LARGE & SMALL.
Jeffrey Lowe is a POS SCUMBAG. Put him and his scumbag wife behind bars NOW!
ANYONE who uses animals for profit and exploitation is pure EVIL!!! I blame the law makers for allowing this to happen and not enforcing harsher laws/punishment. There is SO MUCH MORE than just Tiger King shit going on out there with some psychotic evils fks in this world!!!! YouTube is at fault as well. I can’t believe these “people” actually walk this earth!!! MAKES ME SICK!!!!
NEW OWNERS???????
Why were these animals not taken to an accredited sanctuary after ‘the Tiger King’ lost control of them. Another weak willed judge who was afraid to do the right thing for animals. Have these animals not suffered enough?????
Oh C’mon, let’s have some REAL JUSTICE HERE!!!!!! For once the justice system HAS to do something! If these people can’t be destroyed, than make sure they get a lifetime together behind bars. Even that’s too good for SCUM like that!!!!
I’d love to help humanity, it’s just the humans I can’t stand! (JL)
Jail the hypocritical mutants, they are oxygen thieves!
He is grotesque and what he did to those poor animals is utterly horrendous.
Time and time again animals are getting used, abused, tortured and WHO CAN THEY CALL ….
The law has just turned a blind eye over and over again. A slap on the wrist IS NOT ENOUGH. The law is the only defence for animals so… the Laws for all animals must be rewritten to be harsher and then must be always enforced!!!
Please save all the animals from sadistic demons like Lowe and his wife by prosecuting them to the maximum. Ban them from ever coming near another animal.
All the animals should be placed in a proper animal sanctuary so they can finally have true peace!
