@TheMicMurderer ok let's say that your neighbor was arrested for killing his wife. That's a crime. Then you get arrested for selling coke, which is also a crime. What does the fact that you were selling coke have to do with the separate crime that your neighbor committed? You both committed crimes, therefore you both go to jail. The judge doesn't say "Well hey!! At least he didn't kill his wife like his neighbor did! I guess I'll just let him off, then! Golly!"

Let me tell you this! I have always been a very good judge of character. I have always spotted and identified many liar's in my time AND! Every time I have always been correct. Now. Carole Baskin, is undeniably hiding a big secret! Her reactions on many interviews show hundreds of signs. This is in the facial expressions and laughing at questions that are hard to cover. In all my year's of watching people and their expressions Carole Baskin is most definitely 100% lying. Whoever reads this will always remember this comment in year's to come when she is found guilty of the murder of Donald Lewis! And she most definitely had an accomplice. You wait see what's coming!

[@Demonlightning1]

If we don't have people to take care of these big animals. What do you think will happen? After that one person has a change of heart or in baskins case depression, etc. They will be euthanized or shot if it's just one person handling them. They won't be released so they will eventually suffer horrible conditions and illnesses in the near future. These park keepers like "Joe Exotic" make things easier for each of those animals to co-exist with us. Without those people there would be a lot more fear toward those animals.
