Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as 'Joe Exotic,' has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in various crimes of animal abuse and attempted murder for hire.

The United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma has announced that Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as"Joe Exotic," has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in various crimes of animal abuse and attempted murder for hire.

, Maldonado-Passage was born Joseph Schreibvogel in rural Kansas, the son of farmers. In his youth, the family moved to Texas and Joe pursued a career in law enforcement, being named Sheriff of Eastvale, Texas in 1983. Most of his early exhibits were donations from people who no longer wanted to keep the animals as pets. In 2000, he received his first two tigers, which he named Tess and Tickles and began to breed.

By the mid-2000s, the Exotic Animal Memorial Park held over a thousand animals. Visitors could buy Joe Exotic branded condoms and lotion in the gift shop.
