Today is Jamie’s 36th birthday
 
and I am so grateful that we have come together in this space and time to make a difference.
 
Jamie will be representing the cats at CITES this year and I couldn’t be more proud!  It wouldn’t be happening, if not for all the work Howie has put into it.  Judy Mills is the author of Blood of the Tiger and considered by many as the consummate expert on wild tigers.  Big Cat Rescue is paying her way and funding 1/3 to 1/2 of the side event in Johannesburg in October.  Howie has been the one to encourage her, Debbie Banks from the Environmental Investigation Agency, and Born Free to work together to raise the tiger and other big cat issue up before this international group.
 
I love that these and other former International Tiger Coalition partners are all coming together for CITES CoP17 and on International Tiger Day July 29 for all of the captive issues we are fighting.
 
Last night Howie and I watched Suffragette, a Meryl Streep film about British women fighting for the right to vote in 1912.  It gave me strength to push harder for the rights of animals to be treated with respect.
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
