The only thing I think was missing from that documentary was a better dive into the finances. I have a sneaking suspicion there was likely some drug dealing involved in how these folks came by their money. You'll never convince me you can spend that much money per day on maintaining the animals and still make millions in a backwater animal park.

Agreed on both counts.
Some of the cast of supporting characters seem very interesting and marginally less bat#### insane than the primary players.
But yes, this is basically just animal prostitution and slavery and god only knows what else. The finances absolutely do not add up.
But that one guy brazenly told the interviewers that after getting out of prison for chopping up a Federal Agent with a buzzsaw and disposing of his remains that he was surgically inserting drugs and cash into snakes and other animals to smuggle it across borders.
Jesus these people. Florida is a hell of a drug.
