An Oklahoma roadside zookeeper known as Joe Exotic needed to clear space for some lucrative big cats. So, federal prosecutors say, he shot and killed five of his captive tigers.Now the 55-year-old man formally named Joseph Maldonado-Passage faces a fresh set of wildlife-related charges on top of previously filed murder-for-hire charges that have already put him behind bars.Taken together, the 23 federal charges filed in Oklahoma City put Maldonado-Passage at risk of spending several decades in prison if convicted. The superseding indictment also helps illuminate a shadowy marketplace in which wildlife are sometimes the currency and sometimes the victim (Greenwire. April 2).
