Carole Baskin Wiki Bio
Florida resident Carole Baskin is the self-described Mother Teresa of Big Cats. She rose to controversial fame following her public spat with Joe Exotic. Speaking of Joe, she told in an interview,
“I think for Joe, [the feud] was probably very personal, because people said there wasn’t a day in his life that he wasn’t ranting and raving, and carrying on and calling out my name. But for me, he was just one of about a dozen of these bad guys that I was exposed online, talking to reporters about, and saying, ‘No, conservation [does not mean] breeding tigers for use as pay-to-play props.’”
