I just saw the Tiger King documentary, and to be honest, Carole Baskin bothered me more than Joe Exotic did
I think both are questionable people for sure but Carole is so fake it's actually scary as hell and that laugh oh man I'd rather meet the joker for real than watch her smile and laugh like a mad woman.
I didn't grind my husband up in a meat grinder...his arm wouldn't even fit hehehehehehyecshjkgde...
I like Joe more because hes real. He doesnt act like a saint, he knows hes a scumbag. Carole is fake af. She bragged about how much money she's making off of zoo visitors but she wants to shut others down. Shes doing the exact same thing.
Basically both are scumbags but atleast Joe is himself. Carole hides it.
There's probably not a single person in the modern world who's done more to hurt the conservation effort than her. Who the fuck castrates critically endangered animals and puts forward legislation effectively ending a breeding programme that currently has numbers over 2x what are left in the wild of species' on the brink of extinction?
I get that she thinks she doing the right thing, but she's utterly disastrous as far as the conservation effort goes.
Joe has more charisma than Carole, her modern day saint persona was annoying whereas Joe’s flamboyance and shameless narcissism made him seem more real.
It also probably helped that we were introduced to Joe first in the series as our hero whilst Carole’s introduction was basically Joe yelling “That bitch Carole Baskin!” whilst shooting a mannequin.
I prefer Joe’s character despite recognising he’s a scumbag and that Carole’s tigers were almost certainly better cared for.
Tbh they are both insane, I have doubts about the whole husband murder thing, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it was proven true. Even ignoring that Carole isn’t exactly the best person and neither is Joe.
