That's usually what happens when these whales beach themselves. There's something wrong either physically with them or something in the environment. It's almost like it's almost like a form of suicide in a way. And, you know, it's a tragic thing.

I didn't know to the extent of how whacked out of his mind this guy Joe Exotic is. I mean, I realized he was an oddball. I didn't agree with the things he was doing at all.

But having said that, this guy is so whacked beyond even that. I mean, that's the least of his totally messed up mentality with these animals. This is a series about not just wild animals and keeping them as pets in your yard, but it's about sex. It's about alleged murder. It's about all kinds of โ you couldn't make this stuff up if you wrote it.
