Netflix's 'Tiger King' Star Doc Antle Sentenced for Wildlife Trafficking, Banned from Exotic Animal Ownership

Antle was convicted in Virginia of illegally buying endangered lion cubs and transporting them to his South Carolina zoo.
He received a suspended 2-year prison sentence, a $10,000 fine, and a 5-year ban on owning or dealing exotic animals in Virginia.
The case stemmed from a multi-year investigation into Antle's relationship with a Virginia exotic animal dealer.
Antle gained fame from the 2020 Netflix docuseries 'Tiger King,' which focused on big cat breeders.
His sentencing comes after 'Tiger King' star Joe Exotic was convicted in 2019 for murder-for-hire and wildlife violations.
