WATCH: Andrew Tate gets caught in tug-of-war with tiger he plans to buy

Controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate is seemingly planning to acquire an exotic animal. Owning exotic animals, although still uncommon, isn't completely unheard of today.

The self-proclaimed misogynist is seemingly planning to create even more headlines by acquiring a tiger. Tate and his brother Tristan recently paid a visit to what appeared to be an animal trade shopping center.

Tate initially watched the tiger he planned on buying from a distance before venturing out to see the animals in proximity. The controversial kickboxer played with a tiger cub, hand-fed a bear, and saw different types of monkeys and chimps. Tate then proceeded to engage in a tug-of-war with the tiger that he had chosen before.

Celebrities have often been known to keep exotic animals as pets. While Mike Tyson used to own Royal Bengal Tigers, Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage owns two Albino Cobras, who have infamously tried to kill him.

Meanwhile, US President Jo Biden recently signed a bill outlawing ownership of big cats. However, Tate is a citizen of Romani where he is currently under arrest on charges of human trafficking.

Andrew Tate paid legal bills for controversial zookeeper

Joe Exotic, real name Joseph Maldonado Passage, came to the limelight after starring in the Netflix documentary 'Tiger King'. Exotic, a former zookeeper at Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence for hiring two men to kill animal welfare activist Carole Baskin.

While Exotic has consistently denied any wrongdoing, the legal battle surrounding his imprisonment is a massive strain on his purse. However, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are helping the zookeeper clear his legal dues. The Tates said in a statement:

“Joe Exotic blew the whole world away with his kind character, loveable personality, and dedication to his animals. We went ‘Joe crazy’ but everybody forgot that at the end of ‘Tiger King’ he was behind bars. This injustice is unacceptable. We will continue to support and assist our friend, Joe in every way we can until we finally meet face to face when he’s a free man.” h/t mirror.co.uk
