Who is Carole Baskin?

For those still living in the shadows as to who is Carole Baskin, she is the rival of Joe Exotic who also owns a big cat rescue organisation to help save the animals from private ownerships and other forms of cruelty. At 19 years of age, she met Don Lewis and ten years later he left his wife and children to marry her. Together, they build a 40-acre big cat sanctuary called Wildlife on Easy Street.

However, in 1997 without a trace, Don Lewis mysteriously disappeared. The police investigation did not yield anything against Carole Baskin unlike what Lewis children had surmised. However, they expressed their dissatisfaction with the way the investigation was carried out. They alleged that the woman had fed Lewis to the tigers and was upset that the meat grinders were not taken for a DNA. To this date, Baskin pledges innocence in the mysterious case surrounding her husband who was officially declared dead in 2002.
