Carole Baskin is wrangling em up 🐅
Now, the Tiger Queen is appearing on CNN and imploring Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn to sign onto the act in light of a recent case involving a tiger on the loose in Houston.On Monday, May 10, Houston police captured 26-year-old Victor Hugo Cuevas, who is accused of running from authorities and housing a Bengal tiger.
