Bhagavan "Doc" Antle, featured in the Netflix series "Tiger King," was arrested earlier this month with four others on ten counts of trafficking wild animals. He also faces additional charges of laundering more than $500,000 in connection with illegal human smuggling from Mexico. Brittany Peet, general counsel of PETA's Captive Animal Law Enforcement is the "Tiger King" expert. She says Antle is out on bond and back at his Myrtle Beach facility that continues to exploit animals. She explains how a difference in approach between Fish and Wildlife and the USDA has allowed Antle to keep profiting from animal cruelty for decades. Peet talks with Emil Guillermo.
