Joe Exotic has not lost his fight when it comes to finally being released from behind bars sooner than expected.
The 61-year-old – real name Joseph Allen Maldonado – has reached out to President Donald Trump again in hopes of a pardon, and has even revealed what the world can expect from him if he's let go, Knewz.com can reveal.
Maldonado sent Trump a typed letter, pleading for his freedom, after being in prison the "last 7 years for a crime that I did not commit."
He continued: "Just as the Department of Justice was weaponized against you, it was weaponized against me for nothing more than a political agenda to pass the Big Cat Safety Act and monopolize tigers in America."
The Netflix star makes clear he does not need a "full pardon," and is happy "living out my life" as a felon, as Trump is doing.
In January, Trump was given an "unconditional discharge" in the hush money case, meaning the 78-year-old would not be imprisoned, pay a steep fine, or serve probation after being found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
However, he will still be seen as a convicted felon.
Maldonado referred to the show that launched him into fame – Tiger King – in his letter: "Mr. President, what Tiger King the show did to me was as unjust as what the Department of Justice has done to me. No one was shown the hard work I did to grant last wishes for dying children with my foundation called the Animal Miracle Network.
"No one was shown the hard work I devoted on every Holiday to open my zoo for free and cook a full dinner for hundreds of people who had nowhere to go for the Holidays."
The former reality star also revealed what he would do with his life should he ever be released from prison.
"If you find it in your heart and in the name of justice to do either, I give you my word on my parent's grave (that I have never seen) that I will make you proud with the charity work I will continue to do for America and dying children in other countries," he stated.
Maldonado added: "I have no interest in owning animals again however, I want to work very hard on the conservation of wild tigers and lions and bring some truth to their plight of survival because so many people are lying about them to just raise money for themselves.
"If you would grant this wish for Valentine Day or my birthday in March of 2025, I promise you and America you won't be disappointed in letting me return to the free world..."
Besides Trump, Maldonado has pleaded to numerous politicians to pardon him including new Attorney General Pam Bondi, Matt Gaetz, and former president Joe Biden.
Maldonado may be running out of time for a release as he's been battling cancer – and he's refusing any more treatment.
An insider said: "Joe has not received any proper results from his scan in May and blood tests are late but last blood tests shows a significant drop in PSA levels.
"He is very tired and drained and says as soon as he leaves (prison) he will be seeking professional doctors and treatment – but his immune system is all but completely ruined."
"Add the factor of the awful food the inmates are given and poor living conditions, it’s hell to be sick in there. I know everyday is a struggle for Joe, and he has told me himself that he will not go through anymore cancer treatment while in prison," the source added.
Maldonado is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence after he was convicted in a murder-for-hire plot of zookeeper rival Carole Baskin twice. He is scheduled to be released from prison on March 18, 2036.
However, his lawyer, Levi McCathern, claims the convictions against his client should be overturned because of "inconsistencies" in the case against him.
McCathern claimed: "Joe Exotic did not hire anyone to murder anyone. He was convicted of a murder-for-hire, but there's a problem with that. No one was killed, no one was paid and no one, except for Joe, was ever charged."
