Ignore all the faux hype from Tiger King and Tiger King 2. Carole Baskin is an amazing person dedicated to saving big cats. Listen to this episode and you'll walk away understanding how awesome Carole Baskin is.

Carole was featured in Netflix's Tiger King and Dancing with the Stars. Carole is an American big-cat rights activist and CEO of Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit animal sanctuary based near Tampa, Florida. We discuss how Carole came to be part of the TV show Tiger King, her work with the Big Cat Public Safety Act, the illegal tiger trade, the cons of petting cubs and big cat ownership and how she personally dealt with the aftermath of being painted a villain in Tiger King by Joe Exotic and the makers of the series. Most importantly Carole Baskin and I talk about the amazing work Carole does with Big Cats and how we all can join the fight to help save the Big Cats from going extinct!
