Joe is likeable, she isn't

Plus her husband's a stiff

I didn’t find him likeable at all. By his own admission, .

I haven’t even covered everything there.

Yeah, I’m not seeing what was likeable about him. An absolute creep.

Ah Joe Exotic was a likeable lad but you wouldnt want to know him if you know what i mean.

Doc Antle was a downright creep.

True dat. Has a similar MO to Exotic except with women.

Because it seems like she killed her husband and fed him to lion's.

Also the way she swindled his daughters out of their inheritance was pure evil.

“Seems like”. Everything we heard on both those topics was from one side.

There was uncorroborated stuff against Joe Exotic in the documentary too of course but there was enough concrete stuff on him to make a judgement, IMO. Remember, there is no conviction against Carole whilst Joe is convicted of attempted murder for hire. It’s an odd double standard. Hiring somebody to murder somebody is the same as doing it yourself, IMO. Think Catherine Nevin. So if Carole DID do what people think she did to her ex, then Joe is guilty of trying to do the same. It makes no sense to dislike her more than him based on her supposed crime. He tried to do exactly the same to another human being. Not to mention all his other scumbaggery.

The problem with Carol Baskin is that she embodies an attitude found within the animal rights movement which creates a backlash. She gave off an air of smugness and sanctimony with her permanent fey smile and crown of flowers that she likes to wear. That before you even get into the questions of what she may or may not have done herself, and if she's really as nice as she portrays herself to be.

I think we can safely say she is NOT as nice as she wants to portray herself. :pac: Definitely an oddball.

I just thought the comparisons between her park and those of Doc and Joe were a bit sneaky. We really didn’t get enough information there and that she doesn’t allow petting or handling of the animals already makes her place better than theirs. We hear the hours people work for pittance in Joe and Doc’s zoos but if you watch back, it’s never said how many hours her volunteers work. One of them working on Christmas day is highlighted but that’s all. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter. It was definitely hard work but it was, like, six hours a week, sometimes less. All sanctuaries and shelters depend heavily on volunteers. And at least her volunteers can go home in the evening.

Joe was also laughing at how few big cats she had but isn’t that kind of the point? The reason he ended up with so many was because of his need for moneymaking cubs which then grow up.

I sound like I’m in love with Carole but I’m not. I thought she was a big weirdo. I’m just not convinced that she was as bad as the other two buckos. If she DID do what she is suspected of then she is as bad though.

Oh and fuck Jeff Lowe.
