WATCH: Tiger King’s Tim Stark Exposes PETA’s ‘Expert’ Previously Lied About a Cheetah Attack, Causing a Dog to Be Killed (VIDEO)
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ “expert witness,” wildlife consultant and behavioral specialist Jay Pratte covered up a cheetah attack at a facility he worked at in Canada and got his friend’s dog killed in the process.
The “expert” is used by PETA in cases where they are attempting to seize animals from privately owned zoos, exotic pet owners and smaller preserves — including in Tiger King star Tim Stark’s case.
PETA was allowed to seize all of Stark’s animals from his park, Wildlife in Need, after a lengthy court battle. He maintains that the organization got at least 20 percent of his beloved animals killed by doing so.
Tim Stark of Tiger King Preparing Major Fight Against PETA, Says They Killed At Least 20 Percent of Animals Seized From Him
Pratte was the curator at Canada’s Polar Park from 1992-1994, according to a copy of his resume that was reviewed by the Gateway Pundit.
Under his “expert” leadership, a 19-year-old girl, Jacky Ouellette, and a 12-year-old child were placed in charge of weeding inside and around the cheetah enclosure. On July 13, 1993, the two young people stepped inside the cage to clear thistles, something which they were apparently used to doing, though Pratte maintained that the girl was lying and that she was not supposed to be in there.
The teenage girl was attacked by the big cat named Tango.
“He bit my legs first and then he jumped on me, pulling my shoulders down, and bit me on my neck. He was continuously biting on my neck and trying to pull me down,” Ouellette told the Edmonton Journal.
Instead of reporting the attack as it actually happened, Ouellette says that Pratte told her to lie and say that she was attacked by a stray dog — warning that if she told the truth, the cheetah might be euthanized.
Stark was quick to point out this massive failure on Pratte’s part, since the behavioral specialist had been PETA’s expert witness against him claiming that he did not properly care for his animals.
“The cheetah attacked the 19-year-old and ended up doing pretty good damage to her because she ended up with 41 stitches, I think it was,” Stark said during a Facebook live about the information he had obtained. “Jay Pratte immediately made up a story and made the girl feel guilty enough to go along with it by saying that if the truth came out they would kill the cheetah.”

Stark continued, “so Jay Pratte lied and lied and lied about this coverup.”
The story only gets more grim from here.
Now, Pratte needed a dog to fit the story that they had concocted. Unfortunately, he had been looking after a friend’s chow chow at the park
