The fame the Netflix show brought to Carole was incredibly difficult to begin with. The first three months after the release she was harassed horrifically including threatening phone calls and even death threats. Despite this Carole believes that some good has come from it, the spotlight has been put on animal abuse and has allowed her to discuss the real issues around tiger and big cat conservation.

Carole believes the producers of Tiger King did a great disservice to the big cat rescue community in the US. They didn’t truly represent the differences between actual big cat sanctuaries and those who were animal abusers.

The timing of the Netflix show was imperative to its success. Carole is arguably the last person to blame for the covid pandemic yet the internet and viral memes that were created around the show were so focused on blaming her for it, as well as a whole host of other things! Something she finds amusing and bewildering now but it did affect her at the time, particularly around carrying out her conservation work.

Human activities have caused the damage to the world we are seeing. Carole believes we need to stop polluting, stop eating animals and really think about the planet we are leaving behind for our children and grandchildren.

The US’s culture of rebellion and personal independence means that the Big Cat industry is still thriving. To the outside world is seems like a crazy industry but many US citizens feel like they have the right to own any animals in the same way they have a right to bear arms. It’s a cultural shift that takes time and a lot of legislation to change.

If Carole had her time again she doesn’t think she would change her mission. However, she found the impact the fame and negativity around the show was too much for her family to deal with, especially her daughter and husband.

Animal abuse is to do with power. People who abuse animals do so to feel and show that they have power.

If Carole had just 15 minutes to speak to Joe Exotic, she would just want to ask him why. Why does he want to put these animals in cages, why is he for private ownership of cubs and cats if he loves the animals as he says he does?
