Read our privacy policy Tiger King star Jeff Lowe is entering a legal battle with Peta over the sale of a Joe Exotic Halloween costume. Fans of the Netflix documentary series can get their hands on a “Joe Exotic Tiger Killer Costume”, which is being sold by the animal rights charity. The letter, seen by The Hollywood Reporter, states that the costume takes advantage of “unauthorised proprietary rights to the ‘Joe Exotic’ and ‘Tiger King’ names,” which are owned by Lowe. “We suggest Mr. Lowe focus instead on his serious legal problems in Nevada, Oklahoma and elsewhere, including the numerous recent federal Animal Welfare Act violations perpetrated against endangered big cats at his greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park,” they wrote.
