"Free" Tony Supporter Reveals Herself

A well known supporter of and friend of Tony's owner is a man called Joe Exotic. He owns a zoo/sanctuary in Oklahoma. He does a weekly show called Out and Wild on a website called Outonline. It is a hosted show with a streaming video chat via Skype. Recently, the show hosted Sky Williamson, a vocal advocate for "freeing" Tony from the place he lives now so he can be "rehomed" somewhere more to her liking.

Joe said at the beginning of the show that it had been agreed there would be no personal attacks nor profanity. This lasted about two seconds. "Someone" was in the chatroom as a 'guest' and immediately called me a "cyber-stalker". Then Sky later said on air that she couldn't say too much because her "cyber-stalker was on here". So I wonder who that 'guest' was? This same 'guest' needled me throughout the show. As far as the anti-profanity agreement, she said the F word at one point.

Joe also said at the beginning that as far as he knew, she had not said anything bad about him on the internet. Wrong. According to one of her sites, Joe is an animal abuser and hypocrite, and he 'had better watch his back'. This is just one example; much more of this claptrap has been posted elsewhere, mainly on Facebook.

As far as the show itself, first I must enter a little constructive criticism for Joe and his friends. PeTA, the ALDF, BCR, Sky W., and other animal rights groups and animal rights activists are not one big group that conspire together. They all have different agendas and methods, and commonly fight one another. What one group did years ago means nothing to what another group does now. This cannot be overstressed. So in my opinion a lot of info Joe presented was irrelevant to Sky or to the ALDF. BCR's past involvement has become passive, but I must admit I found it shocking that their controlling members have been killing sharks and boiling lobsters. Respect for animal life is a prerequisite for taking care of animals, and some important people at BCR obviously do not.

Regardless, Sky's arguments left much to be desired by the animal rights crowd. She offered no evidence whatsoever; no constructive arguments. She made claims of law violations from many years ago. When Joe said they were no longer in violation, she claimed to have documents to prove otherwise. She would not say what the documents said exactly, nor even hold them up to the camera. Before long, she went on a yelling tirade about the USDA. She also made an issue about the fact that there is blacktop near the tiger cage. Then the hay issue was brought up. I know for a fact that she is the one that put the hay there. She may have meant well at the time, trying to keep the tiger warm, though a Siberian tiger is adapted to Siberian temperatures one would think. Joe explained that hay can be toxic for tigers, so that may be why the truck stop employees did not take the mystery hay and toss it into the enclosure.

Meanwhile, "Guest" threatened to sick some 'detective' on me. I guess she thinks that I am in fear of some 'detective' she has in her pocket. I am not. 

In conclusion I would like to advise the animal rights activists to publicly disown her in mass, or they will never get anywhere with this cause, as evidenced so far.
