UPDATED: It turns out, Cardi B was "just playing" about setting up a GoFundMe to help free Joe Exotic from prison.

The money-raising platform doesn't allow people to raise funds for inmates convicted of violent crimes, according to their terms of service.

Like everyone in the world, Cardi has been tweeting about the new Netflix docu-series, which follows the bizarre story of Exotic, a private zoo owner with hundreds of exotic animals who ends up in jail for hiring a hitman to take out a rival zoo operator, Carole Baskin. The series covers all sides of Exotic's crusade against Baskin, and the final episode leaves viewers wondering whether Exotic was set up by some of his shady business partners.

Exotic is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for two counts of murder-for-hire and 17 federal charges of animal abuse. However, Cardi seems to believe that he was framed.

The Grammy-winning rapper also pledged to start a GoFundMe campaign for freeing Exotic.

The Netflix series has enraptured many viewers stuck at home during the quarantine, and ideas about who should play Exotic, Baskin and the other colorful characters soon sprung up on Twitter. Dax Shepard threw his hat in the ring to play Exotic, baring a striking resemblance to the zoo owner.

In Variety's review of the series, TV critic Caroline Framke said, "Every episode — whether about Joe Exotic's political aspirations or the suspicions that Baskin fed a husband to her tigers (really!) — has more than enough material to fuel its own entire miniseries. By and large, "Tiger King" depends on Joe Exotic's own entertaining philosophy: come for the big animals, stay for the personalities wrangling them. For those who love Netflix's particular flavor of true crime and docuseries, which depend heavily on wild characters and addictive pacing in order to keep a couchbound audience entertained, "Tiger King" will undoubtedly scratch a particular itch."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
