Tiger King star Kelci "Saff" Saffery has revealed his biggest regret about working at Joe Exotic's zoo.
Saff worked at the now closed Oklahoma zoo featured in the Netflix docu-series for 10 years, losing his arm to one of the tigers at the park.
However, despite that horrifying incident, Saff has revealed that his biggest regret was not speaking up more about how the park was being run.

"I think the only regret I would have is that… if my eyes were open more, I could have prevented a lot of things," he told Metro.co.uk.
"I participated in the cub petting. Shit, I was one of the main handlers that did the cub interactions and, looking at that now, I don’t know if I ever genuinely considered what effects there would be on that cub."
He continued: "[I thought] I was sharing that world… and educating people on what I do and why I do it. Like I said, I was selfish. All I wanted was to be able to work with these animals."
Saff went on to say that he hasn't spoken to Joe Exotic – who's currently serving prison time – since 2018, but he has been in contact with John Reinke, the zookeeper who lost both his legs.

He then explained how Netflix definitely has more than enough footage for a second series of Tiger King.
"I know that they filmed for five years, almost five years, and there’s no way that that’s all the footage that they have. I can tell you that right now.
"I would say there was more that wasn’t shown than was shown, but I think that kind of makes it more interesting for those that don’t know the story. They wouldn’t throw everything at you guys all at once, because you wouldn’t be ready for it!"
Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is now streaming on Netflix.
