Actually, it's easier, they say. Yes, it's got to stop. I can't believe anyone has ever thought this is okay, from any standpoint.I hope they can stop this. Some states have a lot of big cat private owners. Getting a tiger or lion is as easy as getting a dog in some places. Very troubling.
While I don't agree with the term, "vicious" when used to describe anyone except some humans, I agree with your basic thought and thank you for it. And yes, alligators and elephants are in inadequate and often abusive non-accredited "care". We are working to stop this.
As most people here know, I loathe dogs and they are quite a different story from cats of any kind.

Big Cat Public Safety Act You can also visit BigCatRescue.org for background and additional information.
Right you are.
She's receiving a lot of threats and bad press because of this sensationalistic BS that she was duped by the producers into having anything to do with. Big Cat Rescue has the highest rating a charity -- and it IS a charity, a rescue, not a "zoo" as the scumbag "tiger king" and his abusing, killing cronies like to portray it -- can have. There has never been one iota of evidence against Carole Baskin. I am a longtime supporter of and advocate for this safe haven for cats large and small -- they also rescue kittens from the local shelter, raising them and adopting them when they are ready -- and I know Ms. Baskin to be a person with a heart of gold, a warrior for cats. Her nemesis is in prison, where he belongs, and where I sincerely hope someone with nothing to lose will deal with him as he should be dealt with, taker of innocent lives that he is. He is a vicious criminal, a liar, and a slanderer.
No, I do not believe the detractors' statements. I think they're BS and that they're trying to gain attention/have an ax to grind. As far as her purported statements, she does have a sense of humor (similar to mine, which some people don't understand, but it can be sarcastic, as I believe these statements are if in fact she made them at all) and she, like many other people, can get very tired of this kind of $%!t being directed at her. She has suffered greatly from the negative publicity due to this trash tv series, which BTW I will never watch.
As far as I can tell, the "Captive Wildlife Safety Act" (already passed) and this new "Big Cat Public Safety Act" do not have anything specifically to do with Carole Baskin. Big Cat Rescue was mentioned in the thread because I gather they have some background information on their web site (I didn't visit it to see), but it seems to me that Carole Baskin is not really on topic for this discussion?
THANK YOU,
lutece
and right you are. I only linked to BCR because Carole has been advocating for passage of this legislation since it was written and as a safe haven for big cats who have been abused and betrayed by the likes of the so-called "tiger king" and his ilk, she has a personal interest in seeing it made law.
