The Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma is run by zookeeper and TV personality Joe Exotic, who was born in 1963. He became well-known for his peculiar actions and his participation in a murder-for-hire scheme. 2020 saw his 22-year prison term for two counts of murder-for-hire and animal mistreatment.

Exotic was born in Kansas and spent his early years in Texas. He graduated from Pilot Point High School and then held the position of Eastvale’s police chief. He built the G.W. Zoo after selling his pet shop following the passing of his brother.
He managed the zoo while also hosting cub-petting sessions and magic acts across the country, hosting an internet talk show, and working on a reality TV project. Following his departure from the G.W. Zoo in 2018, Exotic was detained three months later on suspicion of paying two individuals to kill Carole Baskin, the head of Big Cat Rescue and a longstanding competitor of his.

In 2019, he faced 17 federal accusations of animal maltreatment and two counts of attempted murder for pay. He was found guilty and given a 22-year jail term. With the aid of lawyer John Michael Phillips, he made an attempt to obtain a fresh trial in 2021.
His sentence was reduced by one year in January 2022, bringing his total time in jail to 21 years when an appeals court determined that the convictions for the two attempted murders were improperly regarded as separate offenses in July 2021.
