The big cat conversation continues.
One huge thing I was concerned with when I found out about the series was how it would use tigers onscreen.Not only is it extremely dangerous even with professional handlers on set, but it can be cruel to use exotic animals for entertainment, perpetuating the issues that Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, and Doc Antle were criticized for in the docuseries.
reported that a rep for Carole's Big Cat Rescue told the site that they suggested for the show to instead"utilize computer-generated imagery of cats in the show rather than forcing real big cats to suffer just to entertain the audience."The rep also said,"We hope McKinnon has a passion for animals and that her series will focus on the horrible lives captive big cats lead when exploited by breeders like Joe Exotic.
