Tiger King: Where Are They Now?
2. Carole And Howard Baskin
The real villains of the series, Carole and Howard Baskin are Joe Exotic's biggest enemies, the focal point of where it all went for the Tiger King and still the owners of Big Cat Rescue sanctuary. Whether it be the feud with Joe, some of the oddities with her current marriage to Howard, or the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of her late husband, Carole has become the show's biggest character behind the Tiger King.
Carole and Howard Baskin have both been exceptionally vocal about their portrayal on the series since its release, going as far as to suggest that they had been betrayed by the show's producers. According to the Baskins, instead of sticking to their word and focusing on the exploitation of big cats in America, all the show really did was paint the picture that Carole was a woman who had fed her late husband to her tigers.
Big Cat Rescue has been closed since the outbreak of COVID-19, but remains one of the biggest big cat sanctuaries in the world. Carole and Howard have both claimed that since the show, they've been receiving calls from people out of state with memes, references and even threats from their appearance in the series.
The truth behind Carole's husband's disappearance remains a mystery, however there are talks of a follow-up Netflix show investigating it in the future.
