Carole Baskin, the antagonist of “Tiger King” Joe Exotic in Netflix’s hit docu-series, is using her newfound spotlight to sell her own branded coronavirus face masks that also depict her quirky greeting to “all you cool cats and kittens.”
That’s according to the Tampa Bay Times, which reports that the CEO of Tampa-area nonprofit animal sanctuary Big Cat Rescue is selling the masks on tread365.com to raise money that will be used in part to support first-responders during the coronavirus crisis. The money also “goes directly to support the big cats,” according to the sale page. And it’s money that’s sorely needed, since Baskin’s animal sanctuary has lamented at bigcatrescue.com that it’s losing around $160,000 a month in tour revenue as a result of being closed due to the pandemic.
