Tiger Kings and Regulatory Rings: Evaluating the Scope of the Endangered Species Act

The hit Netflix series Tiger King provided a colorful peek into the world of exotic animal collection and the Endangered Species Act and revived congressional interest in expanding federal protections for captive wildlife.
