Since “Tiger King” dropped on Netflix in March, Carole Baskin has mostly kept quiet aside from a prank Jimmy Fallon phone call and her detailed missive about everything the series “got wrong” on her website.
Now, the Big Cat Rescue owner is speaking out once again, this time to bring attention and awareness back to big cats. “The war against the exploitation, abuse and extinction of the tiger and other exotic cats has always been my focus,” she writes in a newsletter. “Despite the fact that ‘Tiger King’ producers chose to focus on the personalities involved in the trafficking of exotic animals, we at Big Cat Rescue stayed true to our mission, even during the backlash caused by the series and the negative impacts of COVID-19.” RELATED:
