Joe Exotic Biography
Joe Exotic is one of the most popular and richest Chief Of Police who was born on March 5, 1963 in Garden City, Kansas, United States.
Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage (né Schreibvogel; born March 5, 1963), better known by his stage name Joe Exotic, is an American former zoo operator and convicted felon. The former owner and operator of the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (a.k.a. G. W. Zoo) in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, Maldonado-Passage had claimed to be the most prolific breeder of tigers in the United States. Before working with animals he was a police officer—briefly serving as the chief of police in Eastvale, Texas. Exotic has had three unsuccessful runs for public office, first for President of the United States in 2016 as an independent, and then for Governor of Oklahoma in 2018 as a Libertarian. In 2017 before officially entering the race for Governor he filed as a candidate seeking the Libertarian nomination for President.
Schreibvogel worked at various jobs before opening a pet store with his brother Garold in Arlington, Texas, in 1986. In 1997, after closing the first pet store and opening a new one nearby, Schreibvogel came into conflict with Arlington officials over repeated code violations for decorations and signs; he had been hanging gay pride symbols such as a United States flag with rainbow stripes in the store windows, and he accused city inspectors of homophobia and of targeting the business because of his sexual orientation. After his brother’s death in a car accident in 1997, Schreibvogel sold the pet store and purchased a 16-acre (6.5 ha) Oklahoma farm with his parents. Two years after his brother’s death, the farm opened as Garold Wayne Exotic Animal Memorial Park as a dedication to his brother. Two of Garold’s pets were the zoo’s first inhabitants.

Joe Exotic is openly homosexual. He has referred to numerous partners as his husbands despite not being legally married. His first known partner was Brian Rhyne, who died of complications from HIV in 2001. The following year, he started a relationship with J. C. Hartpence, an event manager who aided Joe Exotic with his traveling animal show. In mid-2003, John Finlay was hired as an employee of the G. W. Zoo and, within a month, had begun a relationship with Schreibvogel. By this point, the relationship between Joe Exotic and Hartpence had deteriorated due to drug and alcohol addiction. It finally ended after Joe Exotic threatened to kill Hartpence and feed his remains to the zoo’s largest tiger and Hartpence later woke Schreibvogel up by putting a gun to his head; an action that led to Hartpence’s arrest by the local authorities. Hartpence was later convicted of child molestation and first-degree murder.
In 2006, the G. W. Zoo was cited multiple times by the USDA for violations of Animal Welfare Act standards. In 2011, Carole Baskin, founder of Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Florida, organized protests against his use of cubs in his shows. To retaliate, Maldonado-Passage used the Big Cat Rescue name and various identifying aspects of the sanctuary’s branding in his own marketing. Baskin sued Maldonado-Passage for trademark infringement and eventually was ruled to be entitled to a $1 million in settlement compensation from him, although she was never able to collect most of it.

In February 1999, animal-welfare investigators discovered a large number of neglected emus in Red Oak, Texas, and Schreibvogel volunteered to capture the animals and take them to his animal park. However, Schreibvogel, local volunteers, and Red Oak police were quickly overwhelmed by the task of corralling the large and fast-running birds, several of which died. Schreibvogel and another man resorted to killing emus with shotguns and were accused of animal cruelty by police. However, since the emus were considered livestock, they could lawfully be killed humanely in Texas, and a grand jury declined to indict Schreibvogel. Most surviving birds ultimately wound up at Texas ranches.
Maldonado-Passage ran as “Joseph Allen Maldonado” as an independent candidate in the 2016 election for President of the United States, attained ballot access in Colorado, and received 962 votes (including recorded write-ins) nationwide.
