Baskin continues to successfully run Big Cat Rescue, but says she’s haunted by some of the past traumas the Netflix series dredged up.
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Baskin says, “A lifelong animal lover, I was immediately drawn to the possibility of exposing the misery caused by the rampant breeding of big cat cubs for exploitation and the awful lives these majestic creatures are forced to endure in roadside zoos and back yards.”
“There are no words for how disappointing it is to see that the series not only does not do any of that, but has instead chosen to be as salacious and sensational as possible to draw in viewers. As part of that, they devoted an entire segment to 23-year-old lies and innuendos suggesting I was involved in my husband Don’s 1997 disappearance.”The incident in question is the mysterious disappearance of Baskin’s husband, Don Lewis, then 60.
Lewis vanished one August 1997 morning, never to be seen again, though his car was found at a nearby airport. Some of his relatives speculated that Baskin may have been connected to his disappearance. In a 1998 interview with PEOPLE, the oldest of Lewis’ four children, Donna Pettis, then 42, claimed that Baskin feeding his body to big cats would be “a perfect scenario to dispose of someone. We were upset that the cops didn’t test the DNA on the meat grinder.
Now this is something that needs to be investigated tigerking Carole is that her real name? She did that and she fed him to her tigers 🐅
Missing husband. Not disappeared husband.
You get a certain vibe from certain people🤣
what happened......the bitch killed him wtf you think happened?
She totally did it
I don’t think the person who wrote this actually watched the Netflix series... Carole was caught red handed falsifying his will and a BUNCH of super shady stuff. She deserves to be in jail more than any of them. Did you see her “how to” video on raising the cats as pets?
This is too much TOXICITY for me.. 😩
Ask the Tiger sitting next to her
It’s a complete mystery
