Joe was put away for one thing, it wasn't the murder, and those animal offenses that they gave him time for are normally fines.

[@jamesferris4573]

I live near the G&W Tiger park and my wife and I used to frequently take our grandchildren there. I always understood Joe was playing a part and his actions, like shooting a blow up doll calling it Carol Basken was part of the act. Nevertheless Joe was always friendly and acted like he really cared for his animals. I know Joe wasn't squeaky clean, but I see this whole thing as the greed of Carol Basken taking over what was never hers. It is an endless cycle, the ones with the most power and wealth are the guilty ones, but are never held to account.

I think EVERYONE should be given a fair trial. Period. Dr Drew is board certified in Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine. I’m sure he is very smart but he isn’t an oncologist. Why was a 2nd opinion from him so important? I don’t mean this in a rude way, but Oncologist is who you see is you have cancer. I hope Joe does good though. In RN school we was told that the majority of prostate cancer is so slow growing, so they don’t treat it or don’t treat aggressively. This is because usually the person dies from something else first. They’re always exceptions, I’m only meaning the slow growing kind. I gave no idea which kind Joe has.

[@casparcoaster1936]

Oncologists treat cancer, and measure success by survival rates. Sometimes- better to just leave it alone. Chem & Radiation dont just kill cancer. Kills people. Many live longer w/ help of an Oncologist. Some r happier staying clear of their local Oncologist. GP (& NPs) always useful 2nd opinion. More the merrier.
