  1. Carole Baskin Birth, Movie Director, Marriage, & Death:

  2. Who is Carole Baskin? • Carole Baskin became well known by running Big Cat Rescue, a well-known shelter for big cats that also works to make it harder for people to own these animals privately. But Baskin became famous because of the popular docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness (2020). Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic, the owner of a private zoo who Baskin thought was mistreating his animals, were at odds in the show. • Read Also: victoriachlebowski

  3. How Animal Activism and Big Cat Rescue Began: • Carole Baskin got into the world of big cats when her second husband, Don Lewis, gave her a 6-month-old bobcat in 1992. When the couple went to a fur farm, they bought more than fifty bobcat kittens. After that, they got many other animals. Baskin and Lewis eventually took care of 200 big cats on a 40-acre sanctuary in Tampa, Florida. That had a bed and breakfast where people could meet the cats. Wildlife on East Street was what they called it.

  4. Big Cat Public Safety Act: • Baskin wants the Big Cat Public Safety Act to go into effect. This law would stop shady breeders and stop people from owning big cats privately. It would also stop zoos from letting people pet and touch these animals. In April 2020, a Humane Society representative told the Tampa Bay Times, “We think the most of Big Cat Rescue and the Baskins”.

  5. Relationship with Lewis: • Baskin met Lewis in 1981 after he had a fight with Murdock. This meeting led to a relationship that went on for a few years. Baskin and Lewis were both divorced when they got married in 1991. In 2002, Baskin met Howard Baskin at a nearby aquarium. They got marriage in 2004, and now they work at Big Cat Rescue together.

  6. Legally Dead: • Five years after Lewis went missing, he was ruled legally dead, and Baskin became the main person who got money from her millionaire husband’s estate. In June 2020, the sheriff confirmed that experts had found that Lewis’s will had been forged, but he said that the statute of limitations had passed, so there could be no criminal case for the forgery.

  7. The Show Dancing With the Stars: • Baskin agreed to be a contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She could raise awareness about big cats. She said, “Every week, I hope to get the message out that these cats don’t belong in cages. We need to save them in the wild before they go extinct.” Family members of Baskin’s missing husband used her debut on Dancing with the Stars to put out a commercial asking for information about Lewis and offering a reward.
