Today many of our motions will be heard in Oklahoma.
I’m glad that is finally happening.  It’s been years of frustration and expense, but today the judge is supposed to hear a number of our motions which should result in a receiver taking over operations at GW Zoo, and Joe getting bitch slapped for contempt after flagrantly disregarding previous court orders to stop trying to hide assets.
 
I’m happy it’s nearing an end, regardless of the outcome.  I’m thankful that we had the staying power to force this man and his band of minions into hiding.
 
I’ve been pleased that we haven’t lost any ground at CITES, but disappointed that greed is still pressing the big cats to the brink of extinction with very little being done to stop it.
 
I was happy that USDA send out their annual report with promises to do something about cub handling, although they were pretty vague about it.
 
I am loving Wirecast because it gives me the ability to have a purr-sonal dialogue with our Facebook fans from my desk, so I can stay on target better with the big cat news.
 
I’m  so happy to have such a wonderful family.  So many times during and after the Wildcat Walkabout people commented to me about how wonderful my family, staff and volunteers all are.  I love that we have that sort of an atmosphere here.
 
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.
